November 24 1895 (Julian calendar)

Smolensk, Russia
Assembly of the Nobility

Rachmaninoff's role: Solo Pianist and Chamber Musician

Notes: Rachmaninoff left the tour with the violinist, Teresina Tua, according to Satina, after this concert. There were further concerts scheduled in Vitebsk, Liepāja, Vilnius, Daugavpils, Riga, Jelgava, Tartu, Talinn, St Petersburg, Pskov, and Nizhny Novgorod. Keldysh, however, indicated that Rachmaninoff continued on the tour as far as Riga (p. 98), yet he cited a review in which Rachmaninoff's piano playing is portrayed uncharacteristically (in particular for taking 'excessive liberties'). It seems plausible that a replacement pianist was found but program materials were not updated for the later concerts, yet this is countered by the Riga review noting the performance of two pieces from Rachmaninoff's op. 3. Regarding the concert in Smolensk, Keldysh quotes from a review noting Rachmaninoff's brilliant performance of Pabst's Concert Paraphrase on Eugene Onegin, and the strict adherence to the score in works by Chopin.
