January 24 1916 (Julian Calendar)

Neither Satina nor Apetian noted this concert, in which Rachmaninoff's role was limited to accompanying some of his songs in an encore. The concert was the 6th of Koussevitzky's season, and is mentioned by Keldysh (p. 404) in regard only to Nezhdanova's participation, without providing further program details. Keldysh indicates that Rachmaninoff's role in the concert was not advertised, and that the audience was surprised when he seated himself at the piano to accompany Nezhdanova's encores. The review by Yury Engel in Russkiye Vedomosti on January 27 notes: 'Въ пстоленныхь ею сверхь программы романсахь Рахманинова аккомпанироваль самь композиторь, такь совершенно, какь только онь умееть' ['In the Rachmaninoff romances performed above and beyond the program, the composer himself accompanied them as perfectly as only he could']. It is not known which songs were performed in the encore.
