| Notes |
|---|
| Victor ledgers: "Union musicians used"; "Mr. S. Sholes, present." |
| According to Victor ledgers for this session date, "Musicians time is 9:30 to 1:00 with the exception of 6 violins, 1 st. bass, 1 viola, 1 cello - who stayed until 1:30." This matrix is the last piece to have been recorded that day so it is assumed that the smaller ensemble was used, but this could not be confirmed by audition. |
