Notes
Satina recorded that, perhaps surprisingly given his concert career to date, this was the first complete solo recital given by Rachmaninoff in Russia. She was unable to provide other details of works on the program. Apetian believed that this concert occurred on December 19 (Julian Calendar), and that the Songs, op. 26, were also performed. The History of Russian Music, Vol. 10V, book 2, p. 416) confirms the date of December 17, also indicating the participation of the singer V.F. Pushechnikova, which gives weight to Apetian's indication, and weakens Satina's supposition. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
