Violin parts by David Oistrakh ⟨User:Moromarino [#12702]

Despite the designation 'Urtext" the violin parts are not so. (Oistrakh died 1974 so not free in Canada). They contain numerous fingerings and bowings never added by Schubert. The scores are OK, but the violin parts are not. You could of course redact all of Oistrakh's amendments and provide a real urtext violin part. Another good example of how publishers use "urtext" as a marketing term (Henle is infamous for this also).
