String Quartet No.3 in B minor, Op.31 (Huss, Henry Holden)

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. Please obey the copyright laws of your country.

Misc. Comments

A (contemporary with the event) New York Times review (April 18, 1906) mentions a String Quartet in E minor, Op.22, performed early the 20th century by the Kneisel Quartet. There is an (another?) opus 22, containing 4 Songs, but odd opus number questions are not unusual with Huss. (The E minor quartet may, however, have been another composer's work offered along with Huss' violin sonata which was indeed in the program, and the critic merely confused- also not unprecedented) . Greene (Henry Holden Huss: an American composer's life, page 181, skimmed at Google Books) states that this was composed in 1918 and performed, perhaps premiered, in 1919 as part of a prize Huss received for the work. The cover of the score has "1920/21" but I do not know what that refers to. - Schissel

note: Greene mentions, in his worklist, two other quartets: a quartet in G minor from 1908, apparently lost; a 2nd string quartet in E minor op.29 (not 22), requested by Ysaÿe (presumably Eugene, not Theo), but also, apparently, lost. (Greene, pp255–256) (Schissel)
