Most of the music written in the last 100 years is monopolized by the original publishers. I'll venture to say that most of this music was killed by the original publisher because it was pulled out of print. We may never know it. Copyright rants aside, I would like to talk about a work that is singularly controlled by Boosey: Stravinsky's Suite Italienne for cello and piano (1932). This work exists in many different incarnations: Pulcinella, the ballet (1920); Pulcinella Suite for orchestra (1920, rev. 1947); Suite Italienne for violin and piano (1925, rev. 1934 in collaboration with Dushkin); and Suite Italienne for cello and piano (1932 in collaboration with Piatigorsky).

The cello and piano version of the Suite is largely based on the 1925 violin and piano version. Other than a few re-voicings, Stravinsky replaced the Gavotte and Scherzino with the Aria. As with all publications, the Suite comes with its share of misprints, things that were overlooked by the proofreaders. Unfortunately, this work is not worthwhile for Boosey to correct, so they will continue reprinting the misprints until this work comes into public domain and someone else corrects the mistakes.

I would like to provide a list of errata in the cello part below, so your next performance will be more informed.
