comment: According to the New York Times review, the proceeds from this performance, "in excess of $30,000, were turned over to the American Red Cross for flood relief." Additionally: "An innovation was introduced in the playing of the second movement of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins. Mr. Zimbalist and Jascha Heifetz were the players, but only Mr. Zimbalist was present. Mr. Heifetz, who appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra last night in that city, broadcast his part from Station KWY, Philadelphia outlet of the NBC-Red network, over a special radio transmission wire to Carnegie Hall. Loudspeakers in the hall picked up his playing and Mr. Zimbalist joined him." "$30,000 Flood Aid Raised at Concert." New York Times 21 Feb. 1937: 30. Print.
