New Edition of the Complete Works, Vol.13 Kassel: Bärenreiter-Verlag, 1975. Plate BA 5453.URTEXT EDITION This “urtext” or “scholarly” (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in Germany and thus is public domain in its country of origin. 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’. It may not be public domain elsewhere, however. More information about this can be found here. Please obey the copyright laws of your country.
