I used to play the Prokofiev with flutists exclusively, and it's only in recent years that I've been playing more with string players. I still play from my "flute" piano part, but last Saturday, I had an unexpected rehearsal with a violinist whose teacher provided me with the nominally Oistrakh-edited "violin" piano part. As far as what was shown as the "solo" line in the piano part - there was no difference (i.e., it was the same as the nominally Rampal-edited flute edition), even though in the actual violin part (from which the violinist was playing), there WERE differences! (IOW, the solo violin part did not correspond to what was shown in the solo lines of the "violin" piano part!) Sounds as if this piece is in an even murkier state than I originally thought - of course, in this case it could just be International Edition saving a bit of cash on their printing costs for the piano part! ;-)
