Firebird 1945 version

Hello,

I'm looking for the tuba part of the 1945 version of Stravinsky's Firebird.
On Cherry's cd, there's the 1919 version and the Dover score I have is the 1910 version...

Can anyone help me on this!?

Thanks

I know this doesn't help much, but I believe I just played the '45 version. I'd only played the 1919 version before this, and frankly like the old version much better (the tuba part is nearly identical, but the orchestration is different in the other parts and articulations, especially in the finale, are changed). The only advantage was that I didn't have to bring a mute!!
