German Preface written by Diran Alexanian translated by Richard Sturzenegger (1905-1976) has been removed due to being under copyright everywhere on the Canadian Server. Once January 1st, 2025 passes, this preface will be eligible on the USA server as the edition will be PD-USA by then, so I will try to remember to reinclude the German preface with a new upload on the USA server only. The physical source included penciled in markings on certain pages from Suite Nos.2 and 3 mainly, which I have removed most of them, but there might have been a couple editorial additions that might have gotten removed on accident, please let Sallen112 know if there is anything that is missing from the music and I can reinclude it with reprocessing certain pages once again.

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. This was made more difficult in the Sixth Suite because of the many different (and redundant) clefs used for this Suite in the manuscripts. In the Fifth Suite, the pitches are notated at their true pitch (not with scordatura) while the Sixth Suite is transposed down a fifth into G major for reasons that are explained on the cellofun.eu website. For best results, print on A4 size paper.
