Premiere edit

According to Wikipedia-de, world premiere May 23 1926. According to https://books.google.com/books?id=B4OwGYrpBBoC&pg=PA268 (Prokofiev selected letters, footnote), performed in Boston November 30 1928, so unlike symphony 5, gap between world and US premiere (symphony 5's US premiere was in 1926, world premiere had been in 1920) much briefer...
