String Quartet No.2, Op.13 (Weiner, Leó)

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 1925 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.

Recorded on a Hungaroton CD (Auer Quartet, 1997), runs 26:41; Hungaroton LP (1962 Hungarian Radio recording) released in 1985, Weiner Quartet, 26:59 or so; an earlier LP (1961), same ensemble (or string orchestra recording- unclear?), timing about 26:35 (see description of mp3 issue of this recording) ; so generally fairly consistently about 26 minutes so far (25 for the live recording on YouTube.)

Small full score published in 1924 by Wiener Philharmonischer Verlag. See Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1924), p.53.
