Notes
The attached review raises questions about this recital. While perhaps not a particularly informed reviewer, in light of Rachmaninoff replacing the named 'Etude-Tableau in E flat minor' with the Prelude in G major, op. 32, no. 5, in similar later programs, the comment about 'sweeping the audience from its emotional feet' with the 'magnificent' etude would seem to suggest that op. 39, no. 5, was played. This would be at variance with Satina's belief that the Etude-Tableau in E flat minor, op. 33, was programmed (as a small selection from this set was played at later concerts), and her belief that the Prelude in G major was played here. Further, the Scherzo no. 3 in C sharp minor was typically played in concerts at this time. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
