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. 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), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. 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, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

Copyright Information	It is likely that this work is in the public domain in the United States, because Novello operated in the United States. If the piece had its first publication in the United States (including republication within 30 days of initial publication abroad), then it is in the public domain in the United States due to failure to file a renewal notice. In the USA this work is most likely in the public domain because it was published without a compliant copyright notice or no renewal was found after a thorough search of the Catalog of Copyright Entries and it was apparently ineligible for "restoration" under GATT/TRIPS. Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP assumes no legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Begun in 1935, set aside, mostly composed during 1938 according to Martyn (Barrie), "Nicolas Medtner: His Life and Music", p.226 (p.121-2 of the earlier edition also available @ Google). First performance - April or so 1939?

Per Hyperion program notes, introduction (which reappears in the 3rd movement) was first considered by the composer as early as 1898.
