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.

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), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. 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, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

Misc. Notes When Beethoven sent the Leipzig publisher Franz Anton Hoffmeister the engraver's model for the solo part of the Second Piano Concerto on 22 April 1801, he wrote, "For instance, as is usual with me, the pianoforte part of the concerto was not written out in the score. I have only written it out now, so that, as I am in a hurry, you will receive that part in my own not very legible handwriting" (from the translation by Emily Anderson, 1961). Beethoven's comment that the piano part had, up till then, not been written out in the score is confirmed by contemporaries. Full of admiration they reported that he improvised the piano part of his concertos during performances or played from an empty sheet of music. (J.R.)
