URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland). In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States.

According to Grove Music, this was based on the theme from the finale of the Oboe Concerto no.1 (1768) by Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer.
1768? Fischer died in 1746.

According to NMA, Grove is simply mistaken here. (Horrors.) The composer was more likely Giovanni Christian Fischer (Johann Christian Fischer, 1733-1800), and 1768 is a terminal publication date (by Longman & Broderip) for the theme, not composition. (RISM also suggests that the later (1733-born) Fischer is probably the source of the theme.)
