Maestro Solti had a special link with this piece of music; he turned the pages for Ditta Pastory, Bartók's wife, when she and her husband gave the premiere performance in January 1938.

Sir Georg Solti and Murray Perahia won a Grammy Award for the CBS Masterworks recording of Bartók's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion.
