Rachmaninoff's role
Solo Pianist
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: there appear to be two (one in D from the ballet Don Juan, and one in G from the opera Paris and Helena). There is also a Gavotte from Pauer’s Alte Tänze, which Rachmaninoff added to a program later this season. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
