Notes
Satina’s notes indicated that she was unsure about which Rachmaninoff concerto was played, but ultimately concluded it was no. 2, which is also noted by Apetian. Satina was vague about the conductor, referring only to 'Mr Pyshnov', while both Apetian and Keldysh (p. 401) give the name as L.N. Pyshnov. The western version of his name, by which he became known, is given here. An advertisement for the concert in Kavkaz on October 25 provides the details of the program, which are supported by reviews in Sakhalkho Furceli (People's Paper), p. 3, and Kavkaz, p. 3, both on October 28. The second review indicates Rachmaninoff played Preludes in G sharp minor, op. 32, no. 12, and G minor, op. 23, no. 5, as encores. The State Theatre is now known as the Zacharia Paliashvili Tbilisi Opera and Ballet State Theatre. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
