Clinton, why do you say this about the US?

February 22, 2014 at 03:06 AM · The first publication date was 1942. For a work to be Public Domain in the U.S. it must be published (not written) before 1923.

Notice that the orchestra parts are only on rental for that reason, for the original version from Boosey and for the revised version from C.F. Peters.

The largest reprint publisher Edwin F. Kalmus will not reprint the work due to it being under copyright in the U.S.

Other countries have different copyright laws.

February 23, 2014 at 02:00 AM · The implication is the other way round: if a work is published in the US before 1923, then it is in the public domain. But if a work is published 1923-1963 then it might or might not be still under copyright, as I'm sure you know. To be still under copyright, the copyright must have been "renewed." On imslp, the original publication date of the Bruch is given as 1942. There is a database maintained by Stanford - CopyrightRenewals - of renewals covering this era, and I don't see Bruch in there.

I don't understand this stuff well. You seem to know quite a bit, especially about this Bruch concerto. I might be missing some major point. Can you clarify?

The Bruch Double Concerto Op. 88 composed in 1911 was in manuscript form only, until 1942. Then it was edited by Otto Lindemann (1879-1946), and first published in Berlin by Rudolf Eichmann Verlag, n.d.[1942] which makes 1942 legal for the U.S.

The PD law in the U.S. depends not on the composition date but on the publication date.

The PD dates for Canada and the EU depend on the date of the composers death.

Bruch died 1920 so the work is in the public domain in Canada, life+50 years, and in the EU, and in those countries where the copyright term is life+70 years or less.

Orchestra Librarians must know copyright law so that their organizations do not get sued by publishers.

Gene,
