As I wrote previously, there are currently at least 3 different rental editions (Schirmer, Boosey/Hawkes, Kalmus) of Peter and the Wolf. There may be others.

If possible, avoid the Kalmus edition.

I've played a few of the rental editions and one of them (definitely not the Kalmus) puts the key signatures into the visually easier enharmonic alternative.

For example: at #6 - B major instead of Cb major.

At #20 (clarinet cadenza) the Kalmus edition and the Schirmer edition are written in Db major with numerous clumsy accidentals (and double flats), where as one of the other editions (Boosey?) is written in C major with more logical (and visually clearer) added accidentals.

Also, be aware of misprints in the A clarinet part of the Kalmus edition in the passages at #42 and #44.

Although he doesn't note which one he referenced, the Kalman Bloch Orchestral Clarinet excerpt book, volume 3 shows the (IMO) clearer edition of the cadenza ...GBK
