Rhapsody in Blue modified piano solo (Wasserman)

[Mazin]

Hi all,

I have a high-quality scan of Herman Wasserman's modified version of Rhapsody in Blue for piano. A preview of the first page is attached showing copyright notices, and it is substantially the same as this edition available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YFMPtT

I'm trying to figure out whether it's PD in Canada and/or EU, but the only source for Herman Wasserman's death year is this: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25427289/1957-oct-20/ which seems to indicate 1957.

Does that mean this work is PD Canada only and not eligible for release on IMSLP? And if so, is the IMSLP interested in holding the file?

If he died in 1957, yes we can absolutely take this!
