Notes
Satina noted that the keys of the works by Chopin were based on those played in Nashville and other concerts in the season; it might be that different works by Chopin were played in some iterations of this program. Satina also indicated that Chopin's Ballade no. 3 was not mentioned in a review of this concert, and nor is it mentioned in the one that is attached (which, given the small location, might have been all that was printed). As the reviewer mentions that Rachmaninoff 'crashed' into the song transcriptions after the Beethoven sonata, and that fewer of these are noted, this could have been a shorter concert without interval. Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C sharp minor, op. 3, no. 2 - the performance of which he notes as 'my duty' in the attached press clipping - and the transcription of Rimsky-Korsakov's Bumble Bee, were the encores.
