New Edition of the Complete Works, Vol.20 (pp.3-50)
Kassel: Bärenreiter-Verlag, 2000. Plate BA 5460.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. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.
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). 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.

Loosely based on Berlioz’s impressions of the novel by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832) and bearing a quotation “Dreams of love and Lady’s charms/Give place to honour and to arms”, the work was dedicated to the composer’s maternal uncle, who may have played a part in his earliest publications dating from the late 1810s/early 1820s.
