Notes
Satina cited Apetian in noting that Rachmaninoff added one more etude-tableau, op. 33, to the program, and that a further four preludes were played (her reference to Apetian was p. 472-473). While this is the first explicit programmatic reference to the complete set of 'nine' Etudes-Tableaux, op. 39, with some programs over the previous month unknown it cannot be ascertained when the complete set was first performed, although refer also to the earlier concert in Moscow on January 9. A letter from Rachmaninoff to Siloti on February 8 outlines the program as listed here, with keys for all nine etudes-tableaux, op. 39, given. The keys of the added preludes are not known. Satina indicated that 50% of the proceeds from the concert were given ‘to the Russian Musician Fund to help the needy Composers and their families’. St Petersburg was known as Petrograd at this time.
