Transcribing work found on CPDL

Postby andrewt » Sat Jul 21, 2012 3:51 am

I'd like to publish on IMSLP a transcription of this piece (http://www1.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Salvation_is_Created_%28Pavel_Chesnokov%29) (specifically CPDL #03377) for 6 cellos. It's licensed under the CPDL license (http://www1.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/ChoralWiki:CPDL), which seems a bit excessive for this particular piece, which seems to be just a typeset of 1913 edition. It says I have to label it Copyright by CPDL.

Is that applicable in this case? I know that IMSLP and CPDL are somewhat inter-related now, and I don't want to offend anyone, especially Mr. Ornes, the founder of CPDL. I would use the "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License" and, of course, give credit to Mr. Ornes for the original typeset.

Hi,

I'm probably the person who is most involved in both projects (CPDL and IMSLP). I would suggest you to submit this question to the CPDL forums:

http://forums.cpdl.org

so that CPDL managers may provide you with the most comprehensive and authoritative answer on this subject.

Just as an aside, any reason you can't use the original 1913 publication as a source? While we don't yet have it here, it surely must be available in a library or two.
