Recorded by Kolja Lessing on Edition Abseits (EDA) EDA19 with sonatas by Grete von Zieritz (1899-2001) and Jerzy Fitelberg ("Franz Schreker's Masterclasses", issued 2002.) There's also a recording with music by Shostakovich.
Composition date from notes to Lessing's recording. She quotes a letter of 21 September 1920 suggesting that performances were in hand, so probably premiered around then or earlier (note: will check - e.g. - Neue Zeitschrift to see if mention is made in mid-to-late 1920 of Rathaus' piano sonata being played by Stefan Askenase - the pianist mentioned in the letter- or anyone else.)
