Notes: Satina noted that the program she was sent for this concert was incomplete.

The attached review and press clipping add a couple of works Satina was not aware of. The reference to 'nine' preludes of Scriabin is likely a conflation of the eight preludes and etude played in New York subsequently, and which had featured at the concert in Lincoln on February 13.
