Rachmaninoff's role
Solo Pianist
Notes
From the attached review, it appears that, atypically, Rachmaninoff played an encore prior to interval, this being the Ballade no. 3 in A flat major of Chopin. The encores at the end of the recital are noted as the Prelude in C sharp minor, op. 3, no. 2, and the transcription of Rimsky-Korsakov's Bumble Bee. Satina notes that the Chopin Impromptu was likely in A flat major, op. 29. The ‘Nocturne’ by Liszt is presumably the Liebestraum in A flat major, no. 3, while the Polonaise is likely no. 2 in E major.
