- This performance of Scriabin's "Prometheus" was claimed by Altschuler to have been the first performance anywhere with accompaniment of the "colored light keyboard" (or "mobile lights"); the work had been performed in 1913 in London, and two weeks previously in Chicago without this device. The review in the New York Times indicates the performance was conducted in darkness, with the lights projected on a screen at the back of the stage, and notes that the piece was performed twice.
