Dear Contributor,
You recently submitted a file to Don Giovanni, K.527 (Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus). The file you submitted was a recent arrangement, edition, engraving or typeset, in which there is possible copyright although the original composer might be in the public domain. This file will not be accessible and will be deleted in 24 hours or less as a possible copyright violation unless you declare yourself to be the typesetter, provide written permission by the copyright owner to distribute this file on IMSLP, or proof that the file was released under one of the Creative Commons or similar licenses. Please read this page for more information about copyright on IMSLP. You can provide an answer here in the textbox at the bottom of this page, making sure to click on 'save reply' when you are finished.
If the uploaded file was improperly submitted as a "Normal Scan" and/or categorized as public domain, we reserve the right to delete it immediately if there is no evidence provided that you are the typesetter, or that the file was released under a free license as described above. If the file is actually your own work, you can re-upload it as a "(Re)Typeset" and list your own name as "Editor" and as "Publisher" when uploading again. Due to the moral rights provisions of many countries' copyright laws, it is not really possible for you to designate any new work - even your own typeset - as public domain. The simple "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0" is functionally the equivalent of public domain but meets the minimal requirements (attribution) or the moral rights aspect of various copyright statutes. See our Composer Portal page for a detailed explanation of this issue. Despite what detractors of this site say, IMSLP is very serious about obeying copyright laws.
Thank you.
Best regards,

The score and parts you uploaded were not attributed and were listed as "public domain" and have therefore been deleted. If you elect to upload these again, please give the proper credit to the editor/typesetter and upload the score separately instead of in a single file (if the original scoring or a transposition thereof). You might wish to confirm with the Marine Band that it is OK for this item to be uploaded here - I expect they will be fine with it.
Hello. I am the chief arranger and typesetter for the Marine Band. They asked for parts for this duet for an upcoming performance. As everything the Marine produces is done with appropriate funds, our output is automatically public domain as long as the original material is public domain. I thought it would be a good gesture to share this duet. AS the Mozart is fully public domain and I used a PD score as a guide, this submission is fully PD.
