Piano Sonata No.4, Op.29 (Prokofiev, Sergey)

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 1927 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.

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 1997 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.

Extra Information	The second movement was arranged for orchestra by Prokofiev, 1934, as Andante, Op.29bis. The arrangement was premiered 1958-02-13 in Leningrad, conducted by Gennady Rozhdestvensky. Was the (not necessarily complete) Symphony in E minor (1908) a collaborative effort with Myaskovsky or was a similar statement true rather of the source of the slow movement of the latter's 4th piano sonata?... If the former, the slow movement's arrangement as an orchestral andante seems by way of coming full-circle from its intended orchestral origins.
