Misc. Notes
|
Probably an offprint (perhaps re-engraving) of the Complete Collected Works but this seems unlikely since CCW uses a different plate #. URTEXT EDITION This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in the EU (or 20 years ago in Italy, before 1996 in the former USSR). Hence, the edition is public domain in its country of origin or a government publication. 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. Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country. Worldcat gives 1991 publication date, see WorldCat.

First published in 1882. Belaieff's first publication is the first Russian publication; this time, a publisher in another country beat them to it (though it might have been a Rahter/Büttner copublication.)
