    I'm considering taking up the Bach "Italian" concerto as my next big project.

    There are so many editions of this work out there. What's a good one to learn from?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I have the Henle. It’s great, like Henle usually is.

      When I take on a serious piano endeavor that’s going to occupy me for a long time, I’ll often purchase a couple of editions just to get alternative fingering suggestions. Especially for collections such as Rach Etudes-tableaux, LvB Sonatas, Chopin Ballades, etc.

      The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

        Why don't you just start by looking at the numerous free editions at IMSLP?

          @Klaus I did. I was just wondering if it's worth purchasing one that's substantially different from the public domain versions.

            @George-K

            When I get home (I’m at the gym) I’ll take a look at mine and post a sample so you can see the quality.
