Goodman/Copland

I've been playing clarinet for 20 years, and I just finally heard the Benny Goodman recording of the Copland clarinet concerto with Copland conducting. I'm avoiding making stylistic comments because I know what sort of back-lash I'll suffer from the other readers, but I must ask some questions.

For some time I've heard of a list of errata on this concerto, but I can't seem to find that list. Is there such a listing? I'm forcing myself to ask because there are a few rather noticable note differences between the edition I practice off of and the Goodman recording. Specifically: mm. 413 he plays C-natural, but C-flat is printed. There's a couple more spots like that...

I am assuming that Mr. Goodman was not playing from a Boosey & Hawkes edition; I do assume that he had he own unedited copy directly from the composer. So, are these "changes" from the editor or composer?

Thanks much,
Mitch King
