i listened to hamelins recording, beautiful set of pieces...they don't sounds easy though.
Is the Decaux still under copyright?
Yes, it is; Decaux died in 1943 so, under present legislation, copyright in his work expires on 31 December 2013.Best,Alistair
Interestingly enough according to the IMSLP website this piece, or at least this edition is considered in the public domain.https://imslp.org/wiki/Clairs_de_Lune_%28Decaux%2C_Abel%29Why the discrepancy?
They are. For Europe, it's 70 years. For the US, it's 50 years. It's legal for Americans to download, then.
