Notes
While Satina has indicated that the Nachtstück is in F major, it is possible that it was either no. 2 or no. 4: both are in F major, although no. 2 has an F minor section. Satina believed the Schubert Impromptu was D. 935, no. 4, while Martyn (p. 434) indicates D. 935, no. 1. The Ballade no. 3 in A flat major, op. 47, by Chopin was played in other programs during this season, along with the Nocturne in F sharp major, op. 15, no. 2. The Liszt Sonetto del Petrarca in E major, no. 104, was frequently played in programs in numerous earlier seasons. A waltz and mazurka by Chopin, the Prelude in C sharp minor, op. 3, no. 2, Liszt's transcription of Wagner's Spinning Song and Tausig's transcription of Schumann's Kontrabandiste are noted as the encores in the attached review.
