Note questions in this piece:
Bar 30, beat 1: should the fourth 16th note be E natural? That would make more sense in context (the previous note is D sharp), and is what the piano part has.
Bar 46, beat 3: should the second and third 16th notes be C and Eb? That's what they are in the piano part, and in the similar passages in bars 1, 9, and 38.

My experience as a copyist, with music misprints has been: ALWAYS look at the piano part (or score) and do what is there, not what is in your part. The reason is that the score or the piano score (the part plus the solo part) always comes first for the publisher. The composer never writes out the separate solo part - that is always done by the publishing house (and its copyist). Therefore, any discrepancies in the part are going to be the fault of the copyist.

That's a good point about the piano part being the 'standard'.
Now I'm wondering: let's suppose I'm playing this piece for an audition, or solo contest, or something that will be 'judged'. Am I better off playing the part as it's printed, even with 'wrong' notes? Or am I better off making corrections in my part, and playing it that way?

If you are auditioning for All-State in Connecticut, yes.

========================
Sounds like judging in that state is ignorant or hidebound or something. In the absence of instructions published to all participants in advance covering any such discrepancies, judges should be still expected to be aware of them, and they should reward players good enough to perform the technique of checking and correcting their part.
