Solo piano version by Thomas F Dunhill Published by Boosey & Hawkes, London. On the face of it , it should be in the PD in Canada but there is the text of the narration in English, German and French. French text was by Raymond Gerome but no information about who wrote the English and German narr...

The work page on IMSLP says 'All works by this person are still under copyright in Canada, the EU, Japan, and elsewhere and are thus subject to deletion. The works are also probably copyrighted in the U.S. if first published after 1923' Richard Jones that I know wrote ' Lessons for the harpsichord o...

Publisher- Novello, Ewer & Co - 1895

I am sure it is in PD, but please advise.

Dear Daphnis and Carolus,

I have posted the topic of added fingering in the copyright-related forum. You might like to comment.

After discovering that I cannot submit Hassler's 6 Leichte Sonaten because E Doflein has added the fingering to the original score, I have discovered a way of making money. I will download a score with no fingering, for instance Leopold Mozart's Notebook for Nanerl from IMSLP, add fingering after pl...

Thank you for the explanation. Yes, when I started contributing to the IMSLP, I had no idea about copyright issues. I thought rather naively that if the composer was dead for more than a hundred year, all his work, regardless of the editor is in PD. I was told off by Sallen for uploading Myslivecek'...

Thanks for correcting me the mistake about Kakmus editions. But that still does not answer my question- ' If the book is in PD, why is it essential to know the arranger's name? If it is in PD, it will still be in PD even if we do not know the editor or the arranger, I would assume. Not being able to...

Dear Daphnis, I am not cross with you at all. In this case I am not cross with Carolus either because he explained the reasons why he needed to delete in a civil way. To put the record straight, you have advised me to remove Doflein's name and all his prose from my submission. Submitting the Preface...

I also want to put the record straight about the series of events. Before I submitted the overtures I asked for Copyright status of the book ' Rossini- Album of 6 overtures' on the forum. When I requested I provided all the details of the book but also stated that there is no info about the editor a...

Although in PD, I will not be submitting this book for the same reason I gave for J Strauss' Overtures for piano.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Best regards,

I know that the information is important and I supplied all the information I have. If you, who are very knowledgeable and very experienced could not find out who the arranger was, how can you expect the mere mortal like us to do research and inform who the arranger was? As I said in my answer to yo...

Thank you very much. Although in public domain, I cannot upload this and J Strauss' Dance albums because there is no mention of the name of the arranger in the books. When I uploaded 2 of Rossini's overtures I got a message from a copyright reviewer that it is not helpful to submit files with crucia...

After getting the answer to my request on copyright status request that Rossini's Album of 6 overtures for solo piano ( published by Belwin-Mills) is in PD, I started submitting. After the submission of the second overture I got a castigating message from the administrator as follows- 'Arrangers and...

Thanks. Will it be Urtext because Erich Doflein added fingering ? I do not want to submit it unless it is OK because the tone of some administrators to the inexperienced people like us is far from pleasant if we upload files that are not in PD. Some administrators seem forget that we are giving our ...

Thanks a lot. I have read all your replies and will start uploading tonight.

Best regards
