One of the songs is "Under a roof in Paree" (original title: "Sous le toits de Paris") composed by Raoul Moretti (1893-1954) with French words by René Nazelles (1888-1975). The English words were translated/created by Irving Caesar (1895-1996) - so even in 2027 I'd have to post i...

Hi folks, After January 1, 2026, I'd like to post a French song which is copyright 1930. However, the song has English lyrics and the copyright statement—in addition to the 1930 date—specifically says "English version copyright 1931." Can I remove the English lyrics and post the song (afte...

Now uploaded and done. Thank you!

I'd like to request that Eubie Blake be opened up temporarily so I can upload seven songs from the Noble & Sissle musical In Bamville. The copyright notice is the same for all seven songs:

Thanks for the ample response Sallen.

Thanks for the explanation. I've now uploaded the works so you can close it up again.

Another request to unlock Abel Baer. See the two copyright statement below for the two songs I want to upload. Does this composer really need to be locked? One of these songs is 100 years old.

Another request to unlock Abel Bear. Here are the copyright statements:
Olaf (1928); and
I Miss My Swiss (1925)

The first image has the copyright statement of the work I initially wanted to upload (Green.jpg)

But then I took a look at a work which I intended to wait until 2026 and wonder if it is also eligible (copyright 1929, assigned 1930) ((Green 2.jpg). If not, of course I can wait until January.

May I request the admins to temporary unlock https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Green,_Bud, so I can upload some songs he composed with Sam Stept that are copyright 1929.
Thanks!

Ok, I'm continuing the thread because I'm soon going to upload 4 songs from a film which all have different creators.

Shouldn't there be a way to link all of these songs so that someone can find them with a single link (URL)?

I have a few works by Hans Gál that I want to upload to the US server and which are copyrighted in 1929 and before. I am in the United States so these works are now public domain. Thank you!

It was recorded by the International Assocation of Music Libraries but only for their members.
Apparently some Spanish-language speaker posted a bootleg of it (with Spanish subtitles), in English, but the sound is very poor:
