However, with the composer's permission, the sonata was performed for the first time three weeks earlier in Moscow, on November 27, 1932, by Dmitry Tsyganov and Vladimir Shirinsky, both members of the Beethoven Quartet. The performance at the Triton concert was the "Western premiere". The performers on that occasion were Robert Soetens - for whom Prokofiev would compose his second violin concerto in 1935 - and Samuel Dushkin, for whom Stravinsky composed his violin concerto a few months earlier. The work was published in 1932 in Berlin by Éditions Russes de Musique.
