November 22 1934

In error, Satina listed this concert for November 24. She believed that the Scriabin poem was in F sharp major, op. 32, no. 1, and the Etude was in D sharp minor, op. 8, no. 12, as were included in other programs of the time. According to the attached reviews, after playing God Save the King, Rachmaninoff sat at the piano and waited for 15 minutes until latecomers were seated and there was silence in the hall. The description of this by Bob Bouchette, who also supplies an interview in an attached press clipping, is poetic. The Prelude in C sharp minor, op. 3, no. 2, is noted among the encores.
