Out of order? edit

I can't see why this edit was made. 1953 (when Prokofiev died and his wife became his widow) seems to fall between 1950 (when Wittgenstein refused permission) and 1956 (when Rapp premiered the concerto). -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 20:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Right, but in the paragraph before, you said that Rapp asked Wittgenstein for permission to play the concerto, and Wittgenstein refused in a letter dated June 1950. It didn't make sense to me why he was "coming across it" for the first time in 1953, which is what the source says. Yoninah (talk) 22:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
