Notes
The attached review clearly indicates that Rachmaninoff's transcription of the Prelude from the Violin Partita was played at this concert. While it is possible it was played at the preceding concert in Denver on February 27, it might be that the concert in Rochester marked the premiere of this work. While she had indicated that the Nachtstück is in F major, it is possible that it was either no. 2 or no. 4. Satina believed the Schubert Impromptu was D. 935, no. 4, while Martyn (p. 434) indicates D. 935, no. 1. The Liszt Sonetto del Petrarca in E major, no. 104, was frequently played in programs in numerous earlier seasons. Chopin’s Nocturne in F sharp major, op. 15, no. 2, and Ballade no. 3 in A flat major, op. 47, were often played in other recitals during this season.
