Re: book in EU

Correct, you can only legally upload those works which are PD in the EU. 'The book itself' is not completely free in the EU - just because an editor is in the public domain doesn't mean the work s/he edited is as well. I think that I don't completely understand your answer. I do understand that I c...

book in EU

If I have a book with pieces by several composers where the book itself is free in the EU (taken into account that the editor of the book must be dead for at least 70 years), but in this book some pieces have a seperate editor or the composer is not dead for at least 70 years, does this mean that I ...

Editor S.J.

What to do with a editor with the name of 'S.J.'? The music is published in 1879 (pd for the USA), the composer is dead for more than 70 years, but I have no idea how to find out about a editor with such a name as 'S.J.'. Can I upload the scores or not (living in the EU)?

original size and logo removal

Hello, I'm working on cleaning a studybook with pieces composed by the same composer. Working on it I still have 2 questions: 1) I removed the original wide margins, is it allowed to make the margins smaller in the pdf file I will produce or do the original size of the pictures in the pdf file need ...

Re: Beethoven Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel

Thanks a lot both of you!
I searched already in the Dutch law but couldn't find anything about 'urtext' editions. But if Adler only edited 2 pieces it doesn't matter anymore.

Beethoven Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel

If I want to download one of the scores of Beethoven, published by Leipzig Breitkopf & Hartel like for example: http://imslp.org/wiki/Ecossaise,_WoO_23_%28Beethoven,_Ludwig_van%29 and I click on the name of the publisher, I see the following editors: * Guido Adler (1855-1941) * Selmar Bagge (182...

Re: editor Ruthardt

Thanks for the information. I can't say that I completely understand but if I ever have doubts or question about a specific score I will just ask in 'the copyright status requests'. BTW the corrections are made, I hope I didn't forget anything. One of the files was a template, maybe that one caused ...

Re: editor Ruthardt

I have no clue where 1915 came from, but what I do know is that it should have no bearing on the copyright status of works edited or arranged by him. 1934 is more than 70 years ago, so he's PD everywhere except Mexico. It wouldn't affect US status anyway since that was based on date of publication ...

Re: editor Ruthardt

Sorry, but the meaning of your first post isn't very clear. It looks like someone made a mistake when they added Adolf Ruthardt's dates to several pages on IMSLP. Please feel free to edit those pages and change the dates yourself, if you wish. Thanks Davydov, but does it have any consequences too f...

Re: editor Ruthardt

Ruthardt, Adolf; b. Feb. 9, 1849, Stuttgart, d. Sept. 12, 1934, Leipzig; German piano pedagogue, composer, and music editor (from http://authorites.lov.gov)) Thank you very much Davydov, but I already knew this, and that wasn't my question. Can you please look again or somebody else at my first post?

Re: editor Ruthardt

Wikipedia says he died in 1935. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Ruthardt I don't if Wikipedia is right. I gave the name " Adolf Ruthardt" and not " Friedrich Ruthardt " so I'm not surprised that the Wikipedia gives another deathdate. There doesn't seem to exist a separate...

editor Ruthardt

I searched for scores edited by Adolf Ruthardt on IMSLP and I found two different death dates, 1915 and 1934. In the list with publishers/editors and so on I found the death date 1934. When I looked at the publishers page of Edition Peters subpage Edition Numbers I saw with the editions edited by Ad...

Re: Th. Ed. ####

Lebierre died in 1914, Bajardi in 1934, Cramer in 1877. (I wouldn't recommend just doing a web search - try musicsack.com or viaf.org. I got the 1895 date from hofmeister.rhul.ac.uk; you can also use worldcat.org.) My guess is it's a period reprint, with a new plate number slapped on - definitely P...

Re: Th. Ed. ####

They're probably all OK. Guillaume Tell de Rossini was published ca.1846. As far as I can tell, though, Lebierre's Op.141 is actually a piece called Hänsel et Gretel de Humperdinck , published 1896. Could be a different publisher's numbering; I didn't find any record of a piece called 'Mille Fleurs...
