This review is from: Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 6: and Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 22, in Full Score (Paperback)

I have a very extensive collection of Dover classical score publications and this title is very deceiving. For readers that would like to explore the genious and creativity of Paganini, you will find little here in this book. Only the first movement is included in this score which leaves us little to read. I am very dissapointed in Dover. "Full score" leads me to believe that this would have been a FULL score.

This review is from: Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 6: and Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 22, in Full Score (Paperback)

Be very careful:

This is not the Paganini Violin Concerto Op. 6

It is an ARRANGEMENT.... of only the first movement.

The main problem is Dover does not tell you this in the cover or in the product description... you have to buy it (like I did) and find out in the first page of the piece that it is not what it should be.

It is an arrangement/orchestration from Paganini's piano score by August Wilhehmj. Interesting indeed, but not what is advertised... (and not the version that gets usually performed)
