IMSLP Forums

It has been a while since I have contributed anything to IMSLP, but I am thinking I will start adding items again soon. I was surprised to see that the Performance-restricted copyright attributions are no longer available for arrangements. Obviously I could edit the page after the fact with the Perf...

I am trying to enter manuscript scans for Marshall Fine's Victimae Paschali: http://imslp.org/wiki/Victimae_Paschali,_Op.35_(Fine,_Marshall) Based on the materials, the sequence of events appears to be this: 1983: Fine composes "Op.35" for solo organ 1983: FIne arranges it for solo piano a...

Is there any copyright reason not to create a publisher page for MMB? It went out of business a few years ago and as far as I know handled mostly or exclusively contemporary music. All of it would be copyrighted music, but when it went out of business many of the rights devolved back onto the indivi...

I did not know Ellsworth well myself, though I had the opportunity to visit with him on a couple of occasions. As I mentioned in the OP, his widow has not responded to my emails in recent months, so I don't know whether this will work. But I have sent the request.

I would like to create a page and upload a scan (under performance limited license) for a score by the now deceased composer Ellsworth Milburn. His publisher was MMB, but when they disbanded they returned all rights to his estate. As far as I know, he has no descendants and all rights (other than a ...

As I have discovered, there are significant note and rhythm differences (although identical number of measures), so I will create a separate page when the time comes.

I need some advice about how to post an alternate version of "Tango in Time of War, Op.100" by Marshall Fine. I have been rummaging through his manuscripts, and it is quite clear to me that a complete version for fl/cl/vln/vla/vlc/pf predates the version for orchestra by a couple of months...

I would like to link the "Tu solus qui facis mirabilia" work page in a composition list, but I can't figure out how to do it with either LinkWork or LinkWorkN (or CSW, which is what I've been using for the others.) I am assuming this is because Josquin Desprez's name is not formatted like ...

The 3 Chansons de Bilitis for voice and piano are completely different piece than the Musique de scène pour les Chansons de Bilitis for 2fl, 2hp, csta. As far as I can tell, there is no musical overlap.

Here is some further clouding of the issue. I have a copy of the first publication, published by Jobert in 1971 with a celesta part by Arthur Hoérée. This seems to be the most standard version of the work, at least in the USA. The copyright notice includes a statement that the 7 (of 12) pieces that ...

I am curious what the combined wisdom of this forum is regarding Debussy's incidental music for readings of Les Chansons de Bilitis (for 2 flutes, 2 harps, celesta, reciter). Since there is no page for it in IMSLP, I am assuming there must be some issues. The piece was performed once in 1901, but ne...

Adding a reply because I forgot to subscribe to the thread, and I don't know a better way.

I have a question about the Performance-Restricted license and any other that restricts adaptations. I notice that IMSLP is now offering a part-extraction bug next to all the scores. I am wondering if that doesn't count as an adaptation under the license. My reading of the text is that it is certain...

I have just created the work page for my "5 Medieval Dances", which exists in two completely different versions. I would like neither to appear as an arrangement. In particular, I would like the version for strings to show up in in the category "2 Violins, Viola, Cello and Double Bass...

I think this piece may be mis-tagged. The piece is for 3 players. The 4 crotales are played alternately by the flute and the cello player.
