If anybody has a public domain edition of Hummel's Clarinet Quartet in E-flat could be possible for you to upload it onto IMSLP? That would be much appreciated.

Is this piece really that rare? Help me out here.

The editions on WorldCat are Musica Rara (1958, ed. Kurt Janetzky), and a Schirmer edition (one entry is [1963?], one is [n.d.], i.e. no date, another is listed as [195-?], and yet another listed as [19--]). Finally, there is a Breitkopf and Hartel edition (2000, but this would be a reprint of Musica Rara, since Breitkopf now owns this "label").

Kurt Janetzky died in 1994, so the Musica Rara edition is off limits. (It's still in print, by the way)

The entry for Breitkopf lists Musica Rara as the series title, so this is also off limits, since it is the Janetzky edition.

WorldCat doesn't list an editor for the Schirmer edition, but a copy of this edition is at the Sibley Library (not digitized yet, unfortunately). Perhaps one of the Sibley colleagues could just check it to see if it might be public domain? (This seems to be out of print.) If it has an editor who was still living in the 50s and 60s, then it might not be public domain yet.

Seeing that there is more than one publisher who did this work in the 50s-60s, it seems likely that both companies worked from an unedited version that would be public domain, but finding where that score, or manuscript is, is not that easy. If the Schirmer edition is off limits, then the only hope of getting a scan for IMSLP would be to find the edition that both companies worked from.

So the short answer is: pending an answer from Sibley, an unedited-and-therefore-public-domain version of this may be very rare, indeed.
