Frank--

I recently performed the Poulenc on my masters recital, and during the entire time I
was preparing the piece, I repaced a worn-out copy and purchased a backup. One copy
purchased was the 8th edition, and the other was the 14th edition. This may not
answer your question, but as new editions are prepared, corrections have been made.
This is only an assumption, but with 14 editions since the original, it does make
some sense.
