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.

Navigation etc.

D.8a is an arrangement of this work for string quartet.

Deutsch gives 1970 for year of first publication, but the work was first published in 1948.

Dedicated to Ferdinand Schubert: see digital copy of manuscript @ Juilliard (via WorldCat.) Seems to have been intended for publication ca. 1811. To quote the last-noted Worldcat: "Contains extensive autograph corrections and deletions in black or brown ink, with composer's modifications providing an alternate version for string quartet written in pencil throughout score and viola Imo pt. In black ink at right bottom of score t.p.: Eigenthum von C A Spina.
Probable projected publisher's pl. no. N 50 appears in black ink at foot of score t.p., and bottom of pts. t.p. and 1st p. of each pt. as: N 50 C A Spina."
