Author Comment Ponticello  Registered User Posts: 109 (5/17/01 3:06:31 am) Reply Confused by Boccherini Bb Just curious, I gather there are two editions of the Boccherini Bb concerto. There's the one the Jackie Du Pre recorded, which I guess is the Grutzmacher edition, and another one. The Grutzmacher edition has the section with the staccato eighth note "leaps"? My question, is why are there two such drastically different versions? Which one is it considered to be most like what Boccherini wrote?

So the Grutzmacher edition is pretty far from the original. Nice though.
