If the edition was heavily edited or is a completion of the work done by an editor, then that won't be covered under the Critical Edition rule, rather under the standard Life + 50 or 70 year rule depending on the region were talking about here. That's the main question - how much editing is "h...

I'm assuming that this edition will become public domain next year, similar to most of the "Neue Gesamtausgabe" (already on IMSLP). This edition has only the first three movements; Cohrs' work with others on reconstructing the fourth movement was published elsewhere. The main question is w...

As far as I know, the first published edition (full score) of this work was issued by Schott in 1937. I am assuming that this is an Urtext edition, but since the editor, Georg Schunemann, died in 1945, this should be public domain in any case based on the life + 70 years rule. Unfortunately, matters...

Okay, I've finally uploaded the score. At this time, the file contains absolutely everything, as I wasn't sure exactly what needs to be redacted. Much of the textual material is in German, and, as previously noted, some of it appears "in-line" rather than on separate pages. I assume that t...

Given that all gaps in the score are maintained, I assume that the score is only of the composer's work, or at least that that was the intention. The score basically appears like an engraving/printing of the extant manuscripts, including short score. Obviously, the edition does feature editorial add...

To my knowledge, no completions of the Symphony No. 9 finale are public domain; the earliest ones date from the 1970s, so they would need to be specifically PD-dedicated. * I know that some smaller unfinished works have PD-dedicated completions, but probably not this one. I am asking about a differe...

I also wrote about this issue in the work page discussion, so I'll try to condense matters here. The Kalmus score and parts, catalog A3175, are "authenticity uncertain", so there is an obvious interest in resolving the question of their provenance. Right now, this version is noted as "...

I went ahead and updated the new score, #925089, to restore the missing/erased text; compare PDF pages 21 (bottom) and 23 (top) in the other score, #562274.

I've possibly identified a very unusual issue with the new scan of the full score. The original color scan shows very faint text, which appears erased, at the end of book page 17 and the beginning of book page 19. A review of the Bruckner Online scan shows that these are instructions for an optional...

I messed up one of the file names - for file #925082, WAB108-Timpani-etc.pdf ought to be WAB108-1892-Timpani-etc.pdf by analogy with the other new files. I think we can't generally rename uploaded files, but since these files are still in review, if I could rename this file (or have it renamed by st...

Okay, everything is uploaded. I provided the original sources (in color) for reference. I used Scan Tailor (mostly) to convert the images to monochrome, as well as to set uniform page sizes. The threshold was a challenge to set; the one I used was a little darker than the default, but it seemed to b...

I'm just going by analogy with the Symphony No. 2; the amalgamation of the first and second versions for that page comes after all authentic editions.

Hi all, I have found scans of the complete performance material (score and parts) for this work in the 1892 first edition. (Currently, parts are supplied only in an amalgamation of the 1887 and 1890 versions.) But I have some questions about how to upload them and, by extension, about the current st...

Hello, In principle, of course, the entire Alte Gesamtausgabe of Anton Bruckner is already available on IMSLP. However, in an essay linked to on the Symphony No. 2 work page, Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs mentions that Robert Haas prepared a critical report for the Symphony No. 2. Cohrs mentions that this c...

Unfortunately, when I try to use Scan Tailor 1.0.19, I get an error message - "The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library dxgi.dll." I'm assuming that this has to do with running an older version of Windows. Fortunately, the version of Sca...
