Mendelssohn D minor trio

[jim_24601]

This edition any good? It's on musicroom.com for a tenner. I'm learning from a borrowed copy at the moment but I really ought to get my own so I can scribble in it ...

Perhaps I should rather have asked "what is a good edition of this trio" then, since nobody seems to have an opinion on the Schirmer 

[Rach3]

Well, the 'good edition' would be Henle Urtext, which only provides the complete (two) trios (w/parts) for $63... I personally would go with Schirmer, since chamber music sheets' accuracy isn't quite as important as e.g. solo sonatas. At least this is true for the pianist; for the string players what really matters is who wrote in the bowings. Which is why most violinists I know go with International... which doesn't seem to have the Mendellsohn (?). Peters ed. is also decent I think, but I hate their binding.

Good luck with this piece... where did you find the string players?
