URTEXT EDITION 
This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in the EU (or 20 years ago in Italy, before 1992 in the former USSR). Hence, the edition is public domain in its country of origin or a government publication. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum 'threshold of originality' to qualify for copyright as an 'adaptation'. They may not be public domain elsewhere.

Misc. Comments

*Performed (first "Western" public performance?) at the ISCM festival in 1926 - Schissel
*As in Wührer who adapted Franz Schmidt's piano-left-hand works for piano 2-hands? The same? (Still alive fairly recently (1900-1975 dates - indeed, performed Schmidt's piano concerto sometime in the early 70s, I think...), but then he gave the premiere, not editing involvement &c here, so this doesn't affect copyright here :) ) (Guessing so, so filling in name. Premiere was given at the ISCM festival. Indeed, Myaskovsky's work is mentioned ISCM WMD 1926 Zurich in the description of the 1926 festival's performances, activities, etc. - but pianists mentioned are Gieseking and Maire, not Wührer. Probably?? Gieseking?? - "In Zurich, the pianist Walter Gieseking announced in his recitals of his Fourth Piano Sonata" - see this biography and some other sources.

An article on this festival in Neue Musik, 18Jg, August 1926 issue, notes that Ernst Levy's 5th symphony was given there along with the works by Ferroud and others noted at the ISCM website. Myaskovsky's sonata is mentioned on p.837 and it's suggested that Gieseking substituted for an indisposed Wührer, if my poor German is working right.
