Hi Sallen,

thanks for your reply. Yes, the 25 year rule applies here.

Apparently we have some kind of agreement with the US over copyright, and I will probably contact the dept that deals with that,
and clarify this.

thanks again, and best,

Steve

is the score #948982 public domain in the USA as well? It should be in Australia as far as I know.

I think this will make this easier if I ask the following,

Hi again, there is still a question in my head here. So on the page for the Bach harpsichord concerto in D minor;[ https://imslp.org/wiki/Harpsichord_Concerto_No.1_in_D_minor%2C_BWV_1052_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian)], we have the score numbered #948978 which is from the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe colle...

Hi, yes, that is rather complex. The rule here, down under in Australia for all pd materials that have been republished, is it expires after 25 years, which sounds exactly the same as Canada and other places. I have read on the net somewhere that there is some kind of agreement between Australia and...

I have a question regarding some of the scores on this page: https://imslp.org/wiki/Neue_Bach-Ausgabe_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian) these are obviously public domain works that have been reengraved etc. Some of these are still not public domain in the USA. Why does the more than 25 year old rule since th...

Hi to to the forum, I recently needed the William Tell score arranged for piano and two pianos for a piece of music, and I made sure the versions I used to create them were unquestionably all public domain, with no editing question etc. As I only needed the most famous last section of the overture, ...

Hi Sallen112,

thanks so much for letting me know this.

Hi to the Forum, I'm quite anxious in relation to Editors of public domain music and when they die and how long the public domain work they have edited remains in public domain after their death. On this page: https://imslp.org/wiki/Guillaume_Tell_(Rossini%2C_Gioacchino) There is a Franz Liszt arran...

Hi Hp,



Thanks for your reply.

Hi to the forum, this may seem like a dumb question, but if you are writing some music, and you are using a chord progression, or arpeggio pattern, or melody from a classical work, but the publisher of the music still has the right for the publication of that classical music that is in the public do...

Thank you for that information.

I'll try out what is suggested.


many thanks,

Steve

Hi to the forum, I'm not sure why some pdfs are locked. I've tried to open two arrangements of Griegs Mozart Sonata in C major for 2 pianos. When I opened them in photo score to turn them into a Sibelius score, a message popped up saying they were locked. Is there some reason why they are locked? Is...
