Folgende Passage beschreibt, wie Boulez nach der Fertigstellung der Zweiten Sonate noch einen Teil neu geschrieben hat – es sind dies die schwierigsten, geradezu unmöglichen Takte des Werks. Peter O’Hagan, Pierre Boulez and the Piano, Taylor, 2016, p.76: „Publication of the Second Sonata moved forward rapidly (…) and Heugel produced a first proof which is dated 8 December 1949, containing numerous corrections by Boulez. A final proof was completed on 21 February the following year, and within the next two months, Boulez was able to to send Cage a printed copy with a further signed dedication: ‚You well merit a copy, since it is thanks to you that it exists. With all my gratitude for your devotion.‘ The score used as a basis for the printed edition was an additional pen copy in Boulez’s hand, and it is only in this manuscript that the third episode of the third movement was crossed through and replaced by the Movement dédoublé of the printed edition – the last part of the work to be finalised. The sonata received its first performance by Yvette Grimaud on 29 April 1950 in the concert hall of the Ecole Normale de Musique, the day after Boulez had departed with the Renaud-Barrault Company for an extended tour of Soth America.“
