The piece I have to upload is by Gustav Holst. It is the Lyric Movement for Viola and Small Orchestra (reduced for Viola and Piano). The publisher is Oxford University Press, and the copyrights are marked as 1948 and 1986. I have a feeling this piece would not be allowed, but I thought I would check first.

Not allowed. Presumably the 1986 claim if for a revised edition (Imogen Holst?). 1948 was the original publication date, which OUP has to include under US law. Even though the original 1948 score is now free in Canada, Asia, and parts of the EU (not the UK), it's still protected in the USA and would thus be blocked until further notice.
