Paderewski Editions in US
From my understanding, I thought the Paderewski editions of Chopin's works were not under copyright in the US. However, some of his editions on IMSLP (such as the Etudes here: https://imslp.org/wiki/Etudes_(Chopin%2C_Frédéric)) are marked as Public Domain while some of his other editions (such as the Ballade here: https://imslp.org/wiki/Ballade_No.1%2C_ ... _Frédéric)) are marked as non-PD US. Can I upload these scores freely from the US?

As long as the edition is PD in Canada, its eligible. Doesn't matter about the USA status in this case.
Re: Paderewski Editions in US
Since Paderewski died in 1941, his works were never URAA-eligible to begin with, and this was published without a notice. Therefore, that edition is PD-US.
