No. Copyrighted.

Not necessarily.

I thought I would post this information from the Copyright Board of Canada on this subject taken from their webpage at the following link.

https://www.cb-cda.gc.ca/unlocatable/brochure-e.html

The work is no longer protected by copyright

"Generally, copyright in works expires 50 years following the end of the calendar year of the creator's death. There are special rules for works of joint authorship or for works for which the crown holds copyright. After copyright protection has expired, a work is considered to be in the "public domain". It is crucial to remember, however, that new editions of a work that is in the public domain may contain elements that are protected by their own copyright (such as footnotes, editorial comments, cover art) even though the original work is not.
Sound recordings are also protected separately from any work which they may contain. In a 1990 recording of music from a composer who died in the 1800s, the recording is protected but the music is not. In a 1945 recording of music composed by a person who died in 1960, the music is protected but the recording is not."

So, whether a work is copyrighted or not depends on the laws of the country you reside in and also to what purpose you have to use the material such as fair use , private study etc.

Oh, that's good news then. Perhaps Nils should be made aware of these findings. Some of the best music is copyrighted, afterall.

I think Nils is aware of this. He puts the following disclaimer on certain composers such as Prokofiev, who died in 1953.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This piece is in the public domain in the US but may be protected by copyright in other countries.
If you are outside the US it is your responsibility to check the copyright status before downloading.


Canada, and I am assuming the US as well, has a 50 year copyright limit on intellectual property such as music. Other countries have a 70 year limit.

So while the copyright expired here in Canada at the end of 2003, in other countries the limit would be 2023 in this case. :P

Canada is one of very few countries with a death-plus-50 copyright limit - in the USA it's 70 years with a few variations which I can never remember. The Canada limit is fine if both sender and recipient are in that country, but if one is elsewhere it's legal hot water. See messages from a year or so ago on the IMSLP forum. Of course, you could go to Afghanistan where there are no copyright laws....
