Steve Schwartz says in regard to Tchaikovsky's 2nd Piano Concerto:

Speaking of Siloti, I have been amazed recently reading a lot of liner
notes about Rachmaninoff how many writers do not mention that they were
cousins when all they had to do was insert 2 words, "his cousin". Often
he is referred to as Rachmaninoff's "teacher", " friend" etc. Do you
suppose that some of these people don't know this relationship?
Maybe all the knowledgeable liner writers are busy writing about Joyce
Hatto.
