I just played it and I would agree with you. As I remember hearing this
piece (every Halloween :-) it's a Bb.

I though that looked odd but I thought maybe I was just remembering wrong
(it's happened before).

I wonder if anyone can confirm from an urtext (although a recording would be
pretty accurate if many of them agree, which I think they do!)
