Notes
Satina indicated that this was the first concert of a Scriabin Cycle, and that it was held as a benefit in aid of Scriabin’s children. She also noted that, due to the war, audience members were allowed to listen to the final rehearsal on the previous day, October 11, for a small fee, the money raised being donated to ‘wounded men’. Reviews in Russkiye Vedomosti and Russkoe Slovo (both on October 13) indicate that Rachmaninoff played three encores, including Scriabin's Etudes in D sharp minor and C sharp minor.
