Notes
The Russian National Museum of Music (formerly known as the Glinka State Central Museum of Musical Culture) has details of a ‘Music and Literary Evening’ on this date. The performance was not listed by Satina, however Keldysh (p. 91) indicated that it was the first performance of Rachmaninoff's op. 6. Val'kova (vol. 1, p. 154), however, indicates a 'high probability' that the two works were first performed by Conus and Rachmaninoff in a concert at the Assembly of the Nobility on March 17, the violinist's name being listed on the program while the pianist's name was unspecified. The other works on the program are unknown.
