Adam,
I drew the same conclusion. It sounds better with a-natural as the first
note in measure 76 and b-flat as the first note in measure 77. That this
change is correct is borne out by the violin part in the same edition.

The same comments apply to another change: in
the 36th bar before the end of the last movement, both f-sharps should
be f-natural. This change puts the clarinet part in conformity with
the piano score and the violin part in that Shimrock edition.

I am less sure of this one: in the 4th measure from the end of the first
movement, I changed the 3rd note in the right hand group of 6 in the
piano part to e-natural, but I do not recall the authority for having
done so. Maybe when we played it, we took a vote!

There are other minor flaws, such as in the cello part, just before the
last key change in the second movement, the cue notes are played by
piano (not clarinet, as indicated).

I post this to the group, as these are matters on which it would be
nice to have agreement, if possible; and there may be other errors
in the parts that escaped us.
