 Debussy Rhapsodie

In the clarinet part, the first beat of the fourth measure of rehearsal 10 - the descending arpeggio - has a decrescendo marked, but in the piano part there is a crescendo instead. IMSLP has the clarinet and piano part (they say was) used to prepare the printed version, and there is neither a crescendo or decrescendo marked. Which way do you do it, and why?

In the last two notes of the triplet on the last beat of the sixth measure from the end, that manuscript version reflects the change from the Durand edition that we hear often (but not always). Again, which way do you do it, and why?

rehearsal 10, 1st beat 4th bar-- I play it decresc. as written.
Triplet near the end-- I play them perhaps the relative speed of regular eighth notes with exaggerated accents. That may vary a bit depending on what I had for breakfast.

The 2004 Henle edition examines 5 sources of the piece:

handwritten autographs of the piano (A1) and orchestral versions (A2), first printed editions of piano (E1P) with separate clarinet part (E1S) and orchestra version (E2).

-4th bar of Rehearsal 10: all sources give crescendo on beat 1 except (E1S).

-Triplet at end: A1, A2, E1S and E2 give the notes D#-E-G. E1P gives the confusing reading of D#-Eb-G (the D is still sharp from the first note in the bar and no natural is written before the triplet figure). Durand tried to "correct" this mistake by putting a natural in front of the D, thereby printing two wrong notes.

So it's fairly clear to me that we should play crescendo 4 after rehearsal 10 and the triplet notes D#-E-G at the end. But you'll find that people who grew up with a different version in their ears will argue vehemently for what they learnt :-)
