It is on and off. They must be having some server problems.

Since Paderewski died in 1941, his works were never URAA-eligible to begin with, and this was published without a notice. Therefore, that edition is PD-US.

I have not experienced this on any PDFs from the site. I don't know what your issue might be. Can you point me to a PDF which causes this issue on your viewer?

It's true that not all the arrangements are very good musically. We are working on a system to better highlight the higher-quality items on each page.

I'm pretty sure the 1986 item is a copy of the 1901 score and parts. I'm also fairly confident this wasn't widely published before then, although it was definitely performed in 1901 (we even have a photo) and so it's PD-Canada.

No idea. But also, your listing does not say anywhere that it was published in 1901. It is, I believe, saying it was composed in 1901.

I can upload it soon.

I have the manuscript score and parts, which have a © 1986 notice. This is probably nonsense related to a "limited publication" claim. The work is certainly PD-Canada and eligible for IMSLP, anyway. So I'll have it up soon.

You can go ahead and upload these; they sound fine.

The tape recorder piece is OK as PD-US not renewed.

I just added a regenerated PDF. Does that work for you?
