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.

More information can be found here.
Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Misc. Notes Here, the four known manuscript sources have been typeset and laid out in score format principally in order to make for an easy comparison of the bowings (slurs). This is not an academic, scholarly work, in the sense that there are a few typos (note errors) and not all of the minor differences in notes and rhythms between the different manuscripts have been reproduced. We have however tried to reproduce as closely as possible the ambiguities in the placements and shapes of the slurs of the original manuscripts. Two playing editions are also offered: an Edited one (with fingering and bowing suggestions) and a Clean Version (with nothing but the notes). For best results, print on A4 paper with no margins.
