I believe Samuil Feinberg's music is now public domain and I am absolutely thrilled. I have created an account and at the end of my 24 hour grace notice, I will being immediately uploading my collection of PDFs of his scores. I do want to make sure of the copyright laws though. Am I allowed only to upload his scores up to a specific publishing date, or can I upload all of them because he died 50 years ago? I'm under US copyright laws.
Thank you,
Brandon

Re: Samuil Feinberg
Anything originally published before 1923 will probably be unblocked and free for all to use. However, anything published from 1923 to his death will have a [TB] block because, while in the public domain in Canada, it would be under copyright in Europe and the US. My suggestion is to start from the earliest published material.

Re: Samuil Feinberg
You can upload things published after 1922, but they'll be subject to the [TB] until we have time to do a thorough check of the renewal and NIE records. As a general rule, the NIEs were only filed for the big-name Soviet composers like Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Khachaturian, Myaskovsky and Kabalevsky.
