Jonathan Cohler posted to KLARINET some time ago regarding this subject -
mostly in regard to the clarinet part. A search of the archives should
turn it up.

On the basis of that post, I got from Kalmus (imagine the irony - from
the err-text kings!) the Clark McAllister score of the 1919 Firebird in
which the mistakes are allegedly corrected. I say allegedly, because I
have no way (without more work than I care to do) to know whether *all*
the mistakes are indeed fixed. I'll just take McAllister and J Cohler's
word for it. Indeed many things in the clarinet part are fixed.

The score cost about $45.
