Hello everyone.
Is it possible to have the following orchestrations of Leonidas Leonardi uploaded on imslp.org?

If it is allowed of course (in terms of copyright).....

Thanks a lot in advance!

No, it isn't allowed since he died in 1967.

Ah... that's brilliant....
And when is it going to be possible? (how many years have to pass?)

Apparently, Luck's Music Library is selling their scores.
Sheet Music Plus seems to be having Leonidas Leonardi's orchestration for Pictures at an Exhibition (for sale), but they don't seem to be shipping the product outside the States. Quite a bummer.

It is possible to add orchestrations by Leonidas Leonardi now (since his works are in the public domain in Canada). I'll look into adding them when I have time. Also, these are in the public domain in the US (although some of his later works may not be).

You can see we have the beginning of his works now, added here: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Leonardi,_Leonidas

More can be added later...

That would be pretty lovely, if we were to see more orchestrations of his on imslp.org.
