Saumil Feinberg

Would anyone happen to have any of his piano concertos? I love his works - esp. the third piano sonata which is the most emotional work I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. I haven't had the chance to listen to his piano concertos, but any advice/info about them, or Feinberg for that matter anyway would be great.

Regards,

Samuel Feinberg died in 1962
So it is still under copyrights

oh all right, I thought it was the date of publication that needed to be 70 years old? Thanks

The 70-year rule frequently does not apply to the former Soviet Union; I don't know about Feinberg's particular case, but certainly quite a lot of music of that era in Russia is in the public domain (though publisher rights may well apply).

Also, in Canada copyright is in effect for 50 years.

And there are all kinds of exceptions in US and elsewhere - in fact, there remain several exceptions to the 70-year rule, which is a shame, really, as it would be so much easier for general acceptance and understanding were a single period of time following the creator's death to be adopted internationally; that said, the 70-year rule, which was arguably a kind of attempt at encouraging such universality of approach, is now sufficiently widespread to have become the most commonly used term.
