It was suggested that I look at the new Boosey Edition, which I just did.
The piano part is identical to the old edition, and there is a newly printed
clarinet part dated 2001.

But now, all the changes in the original clarinet part have been restored to
what is in the piano part, *except* the bar 5 bars from the end, which keeps
the crescendo, and the piano at the end of the bar!

Incidentally, the triplet bracket over the final minim of the sixth
bar from the end is erroneously omitted (as opposed to the version in the
original clarinet part, where it is printed correctly). Perhaps the editor
got nervous at that point:-)
