Publication History
The concerto has a muddled publication history, owing to Jurgenson's retention of the original plate numbers for revised editions. There are three main versions, of which the third is the one with which we're familiar today; however, this was ignored by the editors of the Soviet complete edition (Polnoe sobranie sochinenii), who reproduced only the First and Second versions.
