Notes
Satina was unable to find any details for this concert, which she presumed to have been a solo recital, however a review in Le Ménestrel from May 5 indicates that the program was similar to recitals in the United Kingdom in March, and a more recent concert in Amsterdam. The four etudes by Chopin were likely nos. 7, 5, 4 and 12 from op. 25. The attached review from Le Figaro names one work by Liszt, and Liszt's transcription of the work by Wagner, although the program remains incomplete. There seems to be no explanation for the reference to Rachmaninoff being Danish in the review from Le Ménestrel. Both reviews note Rachmaninoff's generosity in donating his fee to the Association of Artistic Action. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
