We don't necessary have to *buy* the copy. As one of the previous users mentioned, contributors who *have acceess* to one (maybe from uni library etc) can strip logos without IMSLP owning a copy. Although it would be nice if IMSLP have a copy on its own to speed things up, but this is *not necessary...

Hi

I am about to scan and upload all parts of the Mendelssohn Symphony No.3

So at the end this item will have a complete set of orchestral parts

However how can I put this entry under a category of "symphony with full score and complete parts available"?

Thanks!

I agree with you that this sub-project does need careful planning. However this is also urgent as this would have a dramatic impact on the usabality of orchestral items in IMSLP. With regards to the sheer size of the OM collection, I guess the best way to tackle is to treat it as a project like IMSL...

That's great! Should we set up a special sub-project to process the 10 volume of OM collections? - First, the leaders of this group need to determine copyright status of each item and compile a copyright status table for this collection. - then, we write to every current member / contributor in IMSL...

True, conductors read full scores, but the conductor in my uni orchestra says that *players* need to read their parts! Otherwise they will be too busy turning pages and can't play.

I have got a couple of rare works that are out of print long time ago and the composer is deceased. Their copyrights have not yet expired according to Canadian laws. However how can I tell if the heirs of the composer change their mind and relicense these works with the creative commons license? Tha...

I have come across with a series called "The Orchestra Musician's CD" The Orchestra Musician’s CD-ROM Library™ http://www.orchmusiclibrary.com/about.php It says that this series contains score that are "out of copyright (that is, in the public domain) in the United States" They s...

I would like to scan the full score of piano concerti by Chopin from the album: Complete works, according to the autographs and original editions with critical commentary [music] / editor, Ignacy J. Paderewski, collaboration, Ludwik Bronarski [and] Jozef Turozynski the uni library catalogue says tha...

Thanks!

I will scan the parts and put them on IMSLP. Your reply also means that it is safe for me to typeset this score and upload to mutopia

I have the score and parts of: Schubert Forellen Quintett (Trout Quintet) (Op. 114) Edition Peters Nr. 169 I think "8429 a-f" may be the plate number Unfortunately in any parts or full scores, I could not find the copyright notices / publication year and my library (where I got this score ...
