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.

Misc. Comments

String Quartet No.1 of 6 (2nd written, first published); Worldcat lists a quartet in C minor op.63 published in 1927. (of course might be no.2 of 3, or somesuch. Hofmeister lists no quartets by Woyrsch in the period preceding 1901 so am guessing not. Grove may be more authoritative - will check at library. (Schissel)
