Specific information available for subscribers.
Serenissima edition by Clinton F. Nieweg & Nancy M. Bradburd, 1991; Durand critical edition (from the Debussy Oeuvres complètes) by Marie Rolf, 1997; Breitkopf edition ed. P. Jost; Bärenreiter ed. Douglas Woodfull-Harris. Peters edition [not recommended] ed. M. Pommer.
The controversial brass figures in the last movement before figure 60 do not appear in the Nieweg/Bradburd, Rolf, or Jost editions. The composer was apparently ambivalent about these figures; they appeared in the autograph MS (as an afterthought) and in the 1905 first edition. They were stricken in the 1909 edition at the composer's direction.
