Notes
Satina notes that this was the first performance of the Variations, op. 42. It is not clear which Gavotte by Gluck arranged by Ernst Pauer was played here: two are possible (one in D from the ballet Don Juan, and one in G from the opera Paris and Helena), and there is also a Gavotte from Pauer’s Alte Tänze, which Rachmaninoff added to a program later this season.
