Notes
Satina indicated that this was a concert given by students of the Moscow Conservatory, however she gave the date as October 17. Threlfall and Norris similarly noted this performance (II/23), also on the date in October. Keldysh (p. 47) noted the movement from Arensky's First Suite, and gave the date as November 17, which is confirmed by Val'kova (vol. 1, p. 102) who cites a poster for the concert. Rachmaninoff had been ill in October, so the later date appears more reliable. Val'kova provides details for only the second section of the concert, which included works by Tchaikovsky and Mozart along with Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody.
