Different versions of the Saint-Saens violin concerto No. 3

April 26, 2015 at 06:17 PM · Hello,

I have two different editions of the Saint-Saens violin concerto No. 3 in my hands.

The first one is from G. Schirmer, Inc. (edited by Sauret).

The second one is from Durand S.A.

In the solo violin part they have some slight differences in about 4 or 5 passages and I was wondering if anyone know about this and which one should I play ??

Thanks in advance
