Re: measure 9:
"The F natural is correct, according to the score and the individual part. In
a similar passage in measure 54 it is an F#, but the harmony is different
there. I derived the piece from Stravinsky's Trio version published by
International Music. Thanks for asking a great detail question."

Hi Mark,
I don't want to cause trouble, but every time I have played L'Histoire, I have played an F# in measure 9. I also have the Chester score in front of me, which is the most carefully researched score of the (non trio version) piece available, and it is clearly F#. Most if not all recordings will also reflect this.
However, I seriously doubt the judges will deduct points if they are made aware that this issue has been raised.

Dave,
I'll continue to followup with John. It's an interesting point - the trio may have a misprint, and thus would end up getting propagated possibly forever. The earlier we clear up the issues (if possible), the better.

In my complete score for L'Histoire (International Music Company), I have an F# printed in the clarinet part in measure 9 of "The Devil's Dance." What other publishers/editions of this Stravinsky are out there?

Stravinsky produced a Trio version of The Soldier's Tale, cl-pno-vln. The part available on the competiton page was taken from the Trio version.

I would tend to agree with what David Hattner said--I, too, have always played an F# in that spot. Coincidently, I will be performing the trio/suite version later this month, the first time that I have done it (I've played the "regular" version a gazillion times..or so it seems!).
When Stravinsky made different versions of pieces, he often made alterations of one sort or another. The Suite version has a few different articulations in otherwise identical passages. But I have to wonder about this--regardless of my Chester score (and part!), I plan to play an F# (of course, unless my colleagues decide otherwise!), just as I will play a G-flat in measure 30 of the Tango, just like the full version--not the G-natural that surprised the heck out of me!

Well, measure 9 definitely has an F in the International Score for the Trio. My only reference recording (Anthony Pay, clarinet, with the London Sinfonietta) of the complete Suite - not the Trio- definitely uses F# there. So, did Stravinsky make that change for the Trio, or did International? Does anyone have another published version that says different? I do not want to propogate an error.

Larry: Are you saying your Chester version also has an F natural in measure 9?
