URTEXT EDITION 
This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition is in the public domain because it was published at least 25 years ago for most of the EU (20 years ago in Italy, 30 years ago in Poland) over 25 years ago for the former USSR. 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'. They may not be public domain elsewhere.

Composed 3 years after Op.6, according to Martyn.

Premiere date from Martyn, p.61 (date given in Julian as 8 January 1909.) Martyn notes that none of Medtner's works except for Op.17 were concluded in 1908, so 1907 or 1907-9 would be the composition date, despite the claim at Medtner.org.uk?
