It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1926 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well. |

A revised edition of its 1904 publication was issued by Belaieff in 1955 (Plate 2498) and later published by Muzgiz. Hyperion gives 1901-3; medtner.org.uk gives 1902-3. Wikipedia gives 1895 but their source is not specified. The Medtner Werkverzeichnis gives "umgearbeitet 1955" which means revamped 1955 (posthumously?) but assuming only a slight typo and that a date closer to and before 1952 is actually meant, perhaps they mean he did return to it and (perhaps) the Urtext of 1959 incorporates those changes (a comparison of the 1904 and the 1959 publications might help clarify, as might Gedike's preface, or some other source may)?
A sonata in B minor (unpublished; 1897) and a sonatina in G minor (1898, published 1981) precede this one. Martyn quotes the opening of a sonata in F♯ minor as well.
Premiered 2 November 1904 (Julian/OS).
