Notes
In aid of Derbyshire Children's Hospital, promoted by Arthur Barlow. The repertoire column lists the concert twice from two accounts; the second one names the Rhapsody Op. 6 and repeats the Improvisata as 'Improvisata for piano Op. 6', which is the Op. 10 Improvisata under a wrong opus number. Three publications carry five dates between them, so none of the citations is dated here.
