Rachmaninoff's role
Solo Pianist
Notes
Satina wondered whether the Chopin Waltz might not have been played, and that Medtner’s Fairy Tale in B minor could have been either op. 20 or op. 34, no. 1. Satina was also unsure if the Bach-Tausig opened the concert, or the Bach-Busoni Chorale Prelude, which opened other concerts during this season. The attached review, however, indicates the Bach-Tausig. It is interesting to note that the transcription of Flight of the Bumblebee was played as an encore, as it appears never formally to have been included in a program.
