Bill, the Prokofiev has an interesting side piece of information. The
second movement (I think) is one in which the meter changes every
measure. Well, some smart ass at a publishing house decided to rewrite
that movement into a 4/4 form rather than presenting in with constant
meter changes. So when one buys that edition (I think it is
International but it's been a long time), one gets two different printed
versions of that movement.

Personally, I can't play the 4/4 version because, instead of making it
easier, the rewritten meter is 10 times harder! So much for efficiency.
