These pieces are not in the public domain anywhere, as far as I know, so IMSLP can't help you here.

We can't and don't have his complete works, since not all of his works are in the public domain in the US, and none are in the public domain in Canada. (Even when all of a composer's works can be hosted on IMSLP, they aren't usually all present, just because we don't have access to every piece that ...

I'm planning a series of organ chorale preludes based on well-known Dutch hymn tunes. Problem is, many of these tunes are still copyright protected since the composers died less than 70 years ago (I'm talking about EU copyright, obviously). No existing harmonizations are used, only the plain melodi...

If first published in 1907, then this piece is PD-US. Thanks!

The date when a piece was written is not usually important for US copyright. The details of publication are usually what's relevant. Some works aren't published until many years after being written. Since this piece was, to my knowledge, first published in 1936, when Koussevitzky was not yet a US ci...

There is no distinct copyright in a photocopy of an item as opposed to the item itself. The person who photocopies an item gets no new copyright by making the photocopy. Even if there were a new copyright in photocopies (and, to be clear, there isn't ), this would not extend to recordings made using...

Not actually published in 1921, according to all the evidence I can find. This piece was composed in 1921, but first published around 1939/1940.

Note that any of Naginski's works which were first published between 1929 and 1963 are only copyrighted in the US if the copyright was renewed.

Based on the plate number and what I can find online, probably circa 1910s.

"Dream of Autumn" is not really a subtitle. It's a translated title. Nevertheless, since the French title is more prominent on the original publication, it can be listed under the French title.

Hi Notenschreiber, So, it's a bit complex. Of course, Heinrich Döbel lived and died in the 1600s, and thus his lifetime never overlapped with the existence of the modern concept of copyright at all, let alone the Berne Convention. Not only did Döbel live before copyright law existed, he also lived b...

Yes, this is bogus. This should be listed as "Public Domain."

It has nothing to do with any redesigns or changes — when this happens, it's just due to a technical problem.

Well, the Library of Congress has his correspondence... https://lccn.loc.gov/2017570053 --- no idea if there is any music in there, though. They also have the libretto of Gróf Romeo: https://lccn.loc.gov/unk84220555.

Also, the notes are not correct. Taifun was not Szántó's only opera. He also wrote Számum (1933), and the 1931 operetta Gróf Romeo (to a libretto by László Szilágyi). I don't have the scores though....
