Notes
Satina noted that this was Alexander Siloti’s 3rd concert of the season. While listing the works on the program, she also indicated that it was the first time that the Second Piano Sonata, and the Polka de W.R., were heard in Moscow (a reference to Apetian is cited, p. 442). Threlfall and Norris claimed that this was the first performance of Rachmaninoff’s Sonata no. 2, however previous dates on this tour for which program details are known indicate this not to be the case. A review by Kurov in Ranneye Utro on December 4, confirmed the Sonata, the Barcarolle and Elegy, and the order of this program, without providing specific details of the Etudes-Tableaux and Preludes that were played, while a review by Engel in Russkiye Vedomosti on December 5 named the Prelude in G minor, op. 23, no. 5, noting also that the Barcarolle was played twice. The attached review by Grigory Prokofiev in Russkaya Muzikal'naya Gazeta only names the Sonata, and appears to incorrectly identify the date of the concert as December 2.
