Vocal score for Aeneas first published Durand 1936 and some other scores first published in the 30's--PD in Canada? Latest thing I have was published 1948. Roussel also died 1937 (along with Ravel, Vierne).

You must be quite a Florent Schmitt fan. I'm quite fond of his music myself. I'm a big late 19th and early 20th centuries French music fan, and Schmitt naturally falls into that category. I'm currently in the process of going through my composers and picking out at least the piano PD scores amongst...

!! Can I go back after they've been submitted and edit this? I just submitted a bunch of scores and forgot to tag them as pre-1923. Terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

Re-uploaded the Chants populaires using the same name sans Chanson ecossaise. I wrote over the existing and previously-uploaded file yet it seems the download link for this hasn't been updated.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't even catch the last one of the chants. I'll fix it and re-upload soon.

Would Ravel songs first published circa 1975 still be considered PD in Canada because of the life + 50 years rule, or does the recent publication date prevent this?

The transcription is published in 1922 (original work pub. 1915) by Durand yet Siloti died in '45. This neither public domain in Canada or the US? The work in question is the "Kaddisch" from Deux Mélodies hébraïques transcribed for piano solo.

the LC cataloging rules call for alphabetizing based upon the spelled-out (ordinal) numerals Yes, I'm aware of this, however I think this system is a bit...crap...in my humble opinion :) Debussy wrote etudes and not "twelve"--he happened to have a quantity of 12 of these so-called "e...

Ah, yes indeed. Thanks!

Crumb, BTW, draws all of his own pieces by hand. Yes, indeed he does. And even today Peters (which I believe is his sole publisher) just reproduces his manuscripts in nice calligraphy rather than paying an engraver the huge sums it would take to typeset his music with all his notations. I have actu...

Since I don't know (or am not able?) how to correct work titles, I've edited the page marking that they need to be corrected. At least the ones of which I speak are limited to Satie's page. And BTW the 3 morceaux probably need to be taken down (I've put a note somewhere about this) as they straight ...

the quantity identifier in all pieces (ex. the number at the beginning) should always be in decimal anyway Yes, this is what I mean, but not all pieces are listed as 3 Prèludes (and thus under 'P') as some are still Trois Prèludes and under 'T'. These must be the broken titles of which you speak. N...

I have a suggestion for categorization of pieces under a given composer. This may require some checking and re-working depending how people submit, but wouldn't it be best if all submitted pieces were not alphabetized according to spelled-out numbers first? I'm a bit tired so I'll give an example: T...

Ah, damn. Sorry about that...that was the score I forgot to check for the arranger's dates. Thanks for the reminder.

The first printing by was Edition Russe de Musique in 1929. B&H later reprinted it that same year, so both should be PD.
