Piano Concerto No.1, Op.1 (Rachmaninoff, Sergei)
|
It is unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (like China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright, it is almost certainly public domain in the USA as well. |

The solo part is very similar to the 1919 Gutheil score, but there are differences in the orchestration.
It is unknown at present if this represents an interim revision dating from 1917, or a different revision of the orchestration than found in the 1919 Gutheil score.
