What's interesting is that if Enescu "released" his cello sonatas for publication in 1935 (a quote from Richard Whitehouse's notes to Naxos' recording), were no publishers interested until the 1950s (no.2) and 1988 (no.1)? I find that a little difficult to believe (not impossible, publishers being publishers and the market always being the market unfortunately, but...)
