In Reply to: Which classical music piece do you have the most copies of? posted by John C. - Aussie on April 1, 2010 at 15:54:55:
Just kidding. Actually, I was surprised to realize that the answer for me is the Prokofiev D major Sonata, Op. 94. I have several versions of the original flute sonata and several more of the violin version Prokofiev later did at the request of David Oistrakh. Both versions have always been very popular and it is routinely included in "recital" albums by flute and violin players alike.
