Copyright
Misc. Notes *The German rights for The Firebird were the subject of a ca.1925 lawsuit between Stravinsky, Chester, Schott and Robert Forberg (who won the case). Schott did not acquire the German rights until much later in the 20th century. According to Fuld (p.143), Jurgenson produced at least some engraved parts bearing the plate number 36022 (ca.1912) along with a copyist's full score and manuscript parts formerly owned by Serge Diaghilev which are presently held at the Morgan Library
**Erratum: Onstage Trumpet 1/2 part is missing four bars of notes at rehearsal 205.
