  • Claves.ch gives the premiere date as 8 January 1953 (noting that the reason it was held in Washington rather than in Czechoslovakia was that, according to František Smetana, "the first performance of the Third Sonata was nearly prohibited by the Czech Composers Society; who condemned its cosmopolitan author (an insult at the time)") ; Hyperion Records gives the date as late 1952.
