Misc. Notes:

This edition is public domain in the USA (see comments below).

This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in the EU (or 20 years ago in Italy, before 1992 in the former USSR). Hence, the edition is public domain in its country of origin or a government publication. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum 'threshold of originality' to qualify for copyright as an 'adaptation'. It may not be public domain elsewhere, however. More information about this 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.

Notes on the Eulenburg Scores

The Unger edition is Public Domain in the USA (ineligible for NIE restoration due to PD status in its country of origin). This edition was also issued by Peters (as Ed. 509) and was reprinted by Dover in the 1980s.

Eulenburg issued a score of this work prior to the this edition which was taken over from the London publisher Donajowski in 1894. It was listed as Eulenburgs Kleine Partitur-Ausgabe; Symphonien - Nr. 11. It was 391 pages and had the plate number E. 3179 D. - left over from Donajowski. Apparently it was issued later as Ed. 411 with the plate E.E. 3611.
