Hi Paul,
There was just one wrong note (bar 55, note 1) which was correct in the score anyway. It's fixed in the part now.
Any other "errors" which you think you have spotted reflect the original print, which incidentally is completely free of wrong notes in all the parts. So the readings unfamiliar to all of us cannot simply be dismissed as printing errors.
The handwritten fair copy of op. 33, which Küffner submitted to the publisher, is now on IMSLP. It shows a very diligent composer and scribe at work. Completely clear and free of errors.
Rather, the edition of op 32 we all grew up with was based on a hand written copy of the original printed edition. And we don't know what the editor, Kohl, may have changed because no-one knows where the source he used is.
In any case, this new edition includes a score so that those passages such as the broken chords in bar 123 & 131 can been shown to be correct. Somebody, I suspect Kohl, recomposed the cello part, changing the harmony at the cadence to enable the alteration to the clarinet part.
If you liked the piece when it was Weber, maybe you still like it as Küffner - and he wrote lots for clarinet - and much of it is on IMSLP.
