It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1928 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

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. More information about this can be found here.

The autograph of no.1 was placed for auction at Sotheby's with a description here including a description of the dedication. Both Medtner and Rachmaninoff "each composed a setting (of Muza) which they dedicated to her. Medtner's was published as his Op.29, no.1; for Rakhmaninov's see Lot 216." (Medtner also used several motifs from Op.29/1, and at least one other song from Op.29, in his Sonate-ballade Op.27 and in the piano quintet which occupied him for much of his life. However, the first movement, in which these songs appear, was basically already complete in 1904, so arguably the themes of these songs come from the quintet and not the other way around!)
