Rachmaninoff's role
Solo Pianist
Notes
Satina was advised by the ‘Director of the Department of Archives and History of Alabama’ that Rachmaninoff played Beethoven’s Sonata in G major, op. 31, no. 1 at this concert. Satina notes that Rachmaninoff’s wife questioned this, but that ‘we received later 3 printed programs from cities where this sonata has been played’. Failing evidence to the contrary, it might be that incorrect information was sent to venues and printed in programs. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
