Notes: 

Although the year is not recorded on the programme, this has been determined by linking the day of the week with the date and month.

There are various issues with the keys and opus numbers as recorded in the printed programme. From the movement titles, for instance, it is clear that the Schubert piano sonata in A minor is the one now referred to as no. 14 and is not op. 10. In addition, it is not clear which of the group of three Chopin nocturnes was played second, since op. 37 consists of two nocturnes, one in the key of G minor and one in the key of G major.
