I don't think the scherzo section of this piece at number 10 would work very well at dotted quarter equals 189... Does anyone else think this was a misprint? Perhaps it should be eighth note equals 189? Especially since the next section is marked "Animez un peu" (dotted quarter equals 69). I understand the marking is consistent in the clarinet and piano parts, but it probably wouldn't produce the sort of light, transparency that usually characterizes Bozza's works.

I think you are very correct in thinking the eighth note should equal 189 at circle 10. I pulled out my very old copy which I used in 1957 at Northwestern University and found that Leduc in its 1949 printing started out with an obvious mistake at #10 by printing dotted eighth note equals 189! It would seem someone at the printing house saw that as a mistake and "corrected" it by changing it to dotted quarter equals 189. And yes, two wrongs do not make a right! The obvious correction should have been to remove the dot by the eighth note in the original printing. It was and remains a great piece.

A few other misprints that I've noticed in the clarinet part:
1)2nd and 4th bars of figure 3 should have 32nd note runs instead of 64th note runs. This would be consistent with other runs in the opening "recitatif."
2) 3rd bar of figure 7, third beat, the rhythm should be 8th note, 16th rest, 16th note, eight note. See piano score.
3) 5th bar of figure figure 16, the rhythm should be 8th note, 16th rest, 16th note, eight note. Again, see the piano score and other rhythms in the vacinity.
