Different Copyrights for Mozart String quartet

Post by cellofeel »

Hi
do you know why there is 2 differents copyright for the strings quartet of mozart
example: http://imslp.org/wiki/String_Quartet_No ... Amadeus%29
- the score file is PD in europe,
- the parts files are only USA PD
But it seem that the publisher is exactly the same when you look at the sheet music.

Thank you

Every Country has it's laws.
The score is the same but laws are different in each region.
See here for public domain laws :
