The "multiple version" approach can be,
and usually is, far more expensive. Why
bother, especially for works that barely
deserve one hearing?
There are very few works that deserve
hearing enough to invest the time and
the money to have multiple versions.
These obviously vary by individual.
For your truly, the list is Albeniz
Iberia, Chopin's Mazurkas, Ballades,
Barcarolle and 3rd Sonata, Brahms'
2nd piano concerto and op. 116-119,
Dvorak's and Schubert's last string
quartets, and Debussy's Preludes.
