Prokofiev, Sergei (1892-1953)

Sonata No. 2 for Flute and Piano or Violin and Piano. Op. 94. Edited with special annotations by Joseph Szigeti.

Leeds Music Corporation: New York, 1946. Possible first edition. Quarto. 19 pp. [vln part] + 48 pp. [pno part]. Original paper wrappers (detaching at spine). On front cover, "#2" has been added in pencil in the work's title. Internally very clean and good.
Prokofiev requested that Joseph Szigeti, the editor of this volume, give the United States premiere of this sonata. The performance took place in Boston on November 26, 1944.

This sonata was first published in 1946 by different publishers in London and New York (Boosey & Hawkes, Leeds Music Corporation, Anglo-Soviet Music Press), although it is difficult to determine which, if any, preceded the rest.
