I made my own copy from the handwritten rental score more than twenty years ago. If you count all of the articulations - added by Phil Catalinet and NEVER removed from the "for sale" Oxford version - there are literally HUNDREDS of "mistakes".
The first example of this is the first four notes of the piece, and another example right away is all of the contrived articulations in those upward modal arpeggios in the early part of the first movement. Both of these, in the score, are marked with simple long phrase marks - just like the string parts are when the strings play those same motives. Listen to most recordings and notice the striking discrepancy between the style of the strings' upward arpeggios and that of the tuba soloist.
If you BUY the for-sale mini-score, I'm afraid you'll likely see the solo part "junked up" with articulations similarly to the way it is in the Oxford over-the-counter version.
