Notes
As the second of the attached reviews explains, Balakirev's Islamey was played immediately after Rachmaninoff's G flat major Prelude, which explains the comment in the first attached review that it was not performed. The second reviewer's comments seem more reliable, and it appears the Etude-Tableau in E flat minor, op. 33 - which had been programmed after the Prelude - was played as an encore instead. Other encores included Tchaikovsky's Troika, Rachmaninoff's transcription of Rimsky-Korsakov's Bumble Bee, and the Prelude in C sharp minor, op. 3, no. 2. As the press clippings note, this concert had been arranged at relatively short notice. Satina notes that the Chopin Waltz could have been either op. 64, no. 3, op. 69, no. 2, or op. 42, and that Medtner’s Fairy Tale in B minor could have been op. 20 or op. 34, no. 1.
