Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra?
To my knowledge, the assertion "The Sonata was arranged in 1943 as a Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra" is wrong. It must be "The Sonata was arranged in 1940 as a Concerto for Two Pianos, Percussion and Orchestra". DIBA--193.138.91.175 (talk) 11:28, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Name of the percussionists for the creation
The article indicates that "Saul Goodman and Henry Deneke" created the work with Béla Bartók and his wife in Basel, with a reference note leading to an interview of Saul Goodman by Rick Mattingly (1981). Yet it appears clearly that this information is wrong, since Saul Goodman is speaking of the American creation of the work in New York City in 1940, telling how the other percussionist couldn't handle with the part and was replaced by Henry Deneke. Actually the work was first performed in Basel in 1938, with Fritz Schiesser and Philipp Rühlig at the percussion. The "Français"-version of the article is correct. The "Magyar"-article does not indicate the names of the percussionists. The "Nederlands"-version reproduces the English text and error. The "Simple English"-text is surprinsigly correct. (I can't read Japanese.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.250.91.71 (talk) 14:48, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Heh-heh. Well, this is fairly embarrassing, all right. FWIW, the Japanese article also has the correct performers, and it is not necessary to be able to read Japanese to determine this, since their names are given in Roman type, near the end of the lede.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 15:36, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
