Notes
Satina added this date in pencil, apparently as a consequence of a reference in materials of Apetian. Satina noted: ‘see Warsavsky Dnevnik, November 9, 1907, no. 309. Article by Zataevich, Apetian p. 339’. Satina indicated that Rachmaninoff had incorrectly identified the date of this concert as being in 1908, referring to his new ‘book’ for recording details of his concert activity. Zataevich's review, which is attached, indicates that as well as playing the Prelude in C sharp minor, op. 3, no. 2, after the concerto, at the end of the concert he played three more Preludes, which is confirmed in the attached press clipping (the Prelude in G flat major, op. 23, no. 10, was included). The other works on the program are not noted. Keldysh (p. 283) referred to this concert according to the Julian calendar, as with the date of the review he cites. In the Gregorian Calendar, this date was November 20. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
