Bach Double Violin concerto with Violins 1 &2 score on same page

October 29, 2013 at 07:07 PM · I am practicing Bach Double Concerto in D minor (Ivan Galamian edition) . I play violin 2. I am an intermediate player. It would help me greatly if I had the sheet music showing violin 1 and 2 so that I do not miss my entrance at critical points. Also, it will help me with the expression vs. violin 1. I searched the Internet and did not find anything. Does anyone know if this is available?

Thank you.

It's available (in several editions) as a free download from IMSLP.

(Oddly, it's easier to memorize too, that way--for me, at least.)
