What composer and what title?

If it's a relatively recent early-mid 20th C composer, any halfway decent edition is going to be pretty much fresh off the press just the way the composer liked it.

Depends, I guess.

Hello and thank you for replying!

I meant that general piano books. Like G. Henle which from Germany.
I'm already found two of Russian edition its name are P. Jurgenson and Muzgiz.
So, I wonder if there're any one else?

Just throwing out an idea... If you're only playing a few pieces, you could get an English or German version of Henle and have someone translate the parts that are relevant to the piece(s) you're playing.  Even posting snippets here will get some translation.

Yeah, I see what the OP is meaning now.

I gotta side with Bob on this:  the Henle and I think the Wiener editions have French, German, and English versions of the appendices and notes, generally.

That's probably as good as you're going to get. 

You have to recall that hi-def scholarship among the Urtexts was not equally distributed among all ethnicities, so, you might be SOL, OP.

I wish it were not like that, but, hey, that's the world we live in!

I'd love to be proved wrong, though.

There are some very interesting Russian-language editions, from Bach through, of course, modernism and beyond.
