I've managed to track down numerous versions - including an online facsimile of the original piano reduction, which has us on the right track.  However, we're getting the international run-around on the orchestra parts and/or full score.  Every publisher says it's another publisher.

I looked in WorldCat and found 30 catalog records, which does not
necessarily mean 30 different editions. There is a lot of duplication
in WorldCat. But all of them were for violin and piano. One even says
it's the original setting, for violin and piano. Are you sure it was
an orchestral piece to begin with? WorldCat has no editions old enough
to match your facsimile. Are you sure it's a reduction and not the
original?

Look at it this way: if you have to spend a weekend in Finale Land,
you can correct the terrible mistake. Just skip the horns. No one will
miss them.

(My search is by no means definitive. Maybe someone with access to an
orchestral archive will be able to find something for you.)
