Sergei Prokofiev in Concertgebouw - 10 December, 1925

from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: 10 December 1925, page 234:

The rehearsal began with the Scythian Suite (but they had already had two rehearsals before my arrival). Then Schmuller in the Violin Concerto. Finally we read through No. 3 [Piano Concerto] with me as soloist, an excellent first reading. Monteux is very conscientious, precisely carries out everything I tell him and has an attentive ear for all mistakes. Schmuller is also very meticulous, takes slow tempi and plays every note.
