Hi,
the original manuscript of the Rosary Sonatas is online at:
http://www.digital-collections.de/index ... gnaz+Franz
I think they don't allow a copy here, but somebody could put maybe the link in the Rosary Sonatas Folder...
Best regards
Tamás

Re: Biber manuscript on the net
The work is certainly public domain, so I don't see any problem in downloading the jpg files and combining them to a single (or several) pdfs.

Re: Biber manuscript on the net
If I remember correctly, the downloaded pdf contains information that this is a pdf from the BSB and there they also claim some coyright etc. So I think downloading the jpgs and converting is the nicer way. I don't have time to do this currently, so you can do this if you like.

The PDF from the BSB has all of the usual colour/greyscale/patterning/measuring paraphernalia alongside the manuscript so some optimising of the images is certainly possible.
The only possible copyright that can be claimed is in the "mechanical reproduction" sort of fashion – there is nothing new or original that is added to a scanned, digitised image, and the manuscript has been reproduced in this fashion before (albeit maybe not in full, nor in colour). The copyright note does allow non-commercial and educational use of the images provided a link to the BSB credits them with the work – so the IMSLP's usage appears to squarely meet those criteria.
As we already have the DTÖ edition of the sonatas (and Sonata XI has been corrected of many of its errors) I don’t see a particular rush to add it, but it is rather a nice manuscript to have (and the copper-plate engravings accompanying each sonata are famously excerpted on the work page, following the way I saw them laid out on a CD cover :-)
