Actually Halvorsen's passicaglia is just a transciption of Handel's piece, though it's not here (http://imslp.org/wiki/Suite_No.7_in_G_m ... rideric%29)

Berlioz was partially self taught, so he lacked the flair for 'proper' development that makes his works sound almost bizzare. He was very influential, nonetheless, especially on Liszt and other 'modernists' in the 1800s. Beethoven is considered the (near) greatest because he knew exactly when to fol...

Right, but saying it's not PD "anywhere in the world" is incorrect.

Eh? He wrote a lot of music before 1923, so certainly there's a number of pieces (including what the OP asks) that may be PD in the USA.

Is it legal? Obviously owning them is legal because of laws against retroactivity (heh), but selling them? Even so, illegal or not, I got the P&F for a pretty good price myself off Half.com back in like 2003...so who knows. (I also bought the Prokofiev 'Four Orchestral Works' back in like 1996, ...

As far as I know, all of Joplin's music is PD except for Silver Swan Rag.

Actually I was wondering, does the system actually check somehow where you are, or are ones that say, for instance, V/25/V still locked out for everyone?

Using Mp3s are fine for distributing music -- but the OP wants to release music into public domain. I believe THAT isn't quite cut and dry.

OGG and FLAC are likely the best way to go.

My list doesn't have that piece as one of his transcriptions. Are you sure it's by Rach?
It's true that he recorded a transcription, but that one is by someone named Sgambati (http://www.telarc.com/gscripts/title.as ... EST7FG1QJ6)

Actually it's PD in the U.S., well the 1911 and 1919 versions anyway.

Many libraries will have some version of this if they have any sort of classical score selection.

Yeah, I'm somewhat of an anti-Bartok person (compared to the average classical enthusiast at least) -- but I really liked this. I may have to seek the whole thing out.

Aha. I see you can actually DL this... The Music ID says it's "Bartok: Scherzo", with Allison Lovejoy playing piano. And indeed, it's 7:53 http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Name/Allison-Lovejoy/Performer/156589-2 Alas, Bartok seems to have written a few of them, but it should be easy to ...

....that sounds very familiar, especially later in it. If it's an Mp3 in your possession, you can attempt to identify it with the 'musical footprint' -- a few programs like Winamp can do this.

I'd love to know myself.
