Grieg arr Achron

[WilliamBunting]

Grieg's Scherzo Impromptu Op 73 arr v p by Achron is on DU (no 589) Since it was pub in 1926 and Achron died in 1943, is it unusable?

It can be uploaded. Grieg is free worldwide. Achron died in 1943 and the work was published in 1926. Achron is free in Canada. If the arrangement was published with a valid copyright notice and renewed after 28 years, it will be protected in the USA until 2022. It could have been "restored" under GATT/TRIPS but I've seen very few arrangements listed in the NIE filings.
