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, yet the attached review indicates the Bach-Tausig. The E flat minor Etude-Tableau may have been dropped, as it is not mentioned in the review. It is of interest to note that Rachmaninoff's transcription of Flight of the Bumblebee was played as an encore, as it appears never formally to have been included in a program.
