I should have that on my shelves. I'll see what I can do. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure that these pieces are not only non-PD in the UE, but also copyrighted in the US (initial copyright has almost certainly been renewed). If you're in Canada (or another life+50 country) everything should be fine.

Or have access to something hosted in Canada. You want get caught, I just wouldn't do it for any personally monetary gain. :P

I am in Italy.
I don't know if here the duets are copyrighted. :oops:
I would like to play them (not to sell for money to others!!!).
Thank you
Valentino

After verifications, the intial copyright was 1933 and was renewed in 1960. Bartok died in 1945. This means that it's PD only in Canada and other countries using the rule death + 50 years. Portugal is such a country but not Italy.
Cheers
