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 1928 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.
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.

From Parlett's site:
"It apparently underwent several transformations of form and title before the definitive revision of 1917-1921, namely as:
- Romantic Tone-Poem, performed April 1911; possibly also
- Sonata in D minor, first movement, June 1911;
- Symphonic Fantasy, October 1919;
- Sonata, June 1920; and
- Sonata No. 1 in F# minor, April 1921."
