    Starting from work by F. A. Berezin, an earlier paper by the author obtained an invariant star product on every nonexceptional symmetric Kähler space. This would be a generalization to those spaces of the star product on \({\mathbb{R}}^{2n}\) corresponding to Wick quantization. In this letter we consider, via geometric quantization, the unitary operators corresponding to geodesic symmetries, and we define a Weyl quantization (first defined by Berezin on rank 1 spaces) in a way similar to the way in which the Weyl quantization can be obtained from the Wick quantization of \({\mathbb{R}}^{2n}\). We then calculate every Hochschild 2- cochain of another invariant star product, equivalent to the Wick one, which would be a generalization to those spaces of the Moyal star product on \({\mathbb{R}}^{2n}\). M. Cahen and S. Gutt have already provided a theorem of existence and essential unicity of an invariant star product on every irreducible Kähler symmetric space.
