Although the Concord Sonata was first published by Ives himself in January 1921 (Knickerbocker Press), this is an exceedingly rare score. (One was being offered on Abebooks recently for over $1000 USD.) [Insertion by M.J.E.: See "Discuss this piece" for more on this.] The 1921 score is most likely public domain in the USA, though some legal experts consider it to be a form of "limited publication" - an arcane legal doctrine by which a work can be printed and distributed on a limited basis (to subscribers, for example) and remain unpublished in the legal sense of the term.

Comment: so otoh one has doctrines according to which even asserted, not even proven, early enough performance counts as publication and public domain status and otoh one has doctrines like this one, take one's pick in given situations. ... Wow!...-ES (eg Telemann’s self-publications and Renaissance pre-Petrucci pubs probably count as limited also...)
