Quite simply, since Stravinsky died in 1971, none of his works are public domain in Canada. If you wait for 14 years, you can have all the Stravinsky you want.

That said, does anyone think it would be preferable to have empty composer pages for well-known composers that are copyright, with biographical information and a date when they will become PD? Just an idea.

I edited the title, please don't shout as if we owe you Stravinsky.

If you search various sites you can find scores of Stravinsky as some are PD in the US. If indeed you are from the US.

If you go to MagesY (Google it) and search for The Rite of Spring, they have the full Boosey & Hawkes score in 3 files. The Gamingforce Forums Musician's Library has the Firebird in 5 parts (search in the "Search thread" box). The Indiana University Prototype PD Library has Petrushka.

It appears that MagesY has been shut down for good.

The same score that was on IMSLP before is from http://nlib.org.ua/ , though I don't advise downloading much from there, they have two shosta symphonies which are certainly still (c).

The Rite of Spring score from http://nlib.org.ua does not appear to be the Dover reprint of the Muzyka edition though:

It might be. I guess it would save us some time here in the forum. It would also make IMSLP seem more professional and polished.

All I know is that it was on IMSLP.
