Ysaye's virtuoso adaptation of Saint-Seans's Etude has rightly become a favourite amongst aspiring violins, yet since its initial publication, the piece has been plagued by errors and inconsistencies within the version editions availble. There were two editions of the piano reduction within a few years and two versions of the solo part to go with them. The full score of the orchestral version was published later still after the first performance and had further changes which were never put into the piano reductions. Additional alterations by Ysaye were to be found in the set of orchestral parts that were prepared for the premiere. Only some of these changes found their way into the full score.
This new edition of the piano reduction, the solo part and the full score and orchestral parts brings all these changes together for the first time and corodinates them across all formats. It includes a short introductory esay with photographs explaining the differences and inconsistencies between previous editions
The full score may be found under FMP 10082501 and the orchestral parts at FMP 11082501.
