URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

Extra Information For the 1st version of the sonata, the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe published an alternative version of the 1st movement (Fassung der ersten Satzes nach der ersten Niederschrift). The Finale is a fragment, as the last page of the autograph, probably containing 17 bars, is lost. Its contents may be reconstructed from the parallel passages in the exposition and (for the coda) the 2nd version of the sonata. It is possible that the Scherzo in D-flat major (D.593/2), also composed in 1817, was originally conceived as the 3rd movement of the Sonata. The 1st version is numbered as Piano Sonata No.7 in both Classical Archives and the Wiener Urtext Edition; it is unnumbered in the Breitkopf & Härtel edition. The 2nd version is numbered as Piano Sonata No.7 in the Breitkopf & Härtel edition, and as Piano Sonata No.8 in the Wiener Urtext Edition; it is unnumbered in Classical Archives.
