Weeding out the attic of a relative who saved everything, I came across this program. Amazing the program he performed.
Variations in F Minor Haydn
Rondo A Minor Mozart
Appassionata Beethoven
Ballade in F Minor Chopin
Nocturne B Major Op 62 "
Mazurka F sharp Minor Op. 59 Chopin
Impromptu Schubert
Love-death from Tristan Wagner-Liszt
All this for $2.50 a ticket!! Is there a pianist today who could duplicate this performance? Paderewski was 78 at the time.
Also, the back of program announced a future performance by Marian Anderson, 'renowned Negro contralto'. Thank heaven, we no longer feel the need to mention a performer's race.
Just thought you might enjoy hearing of this bit of piano memorabilia. I will treasure it.

Thanks for posting this. Actually, there's an incredible number of active pianists today who could double this. But still, it's impressive.
