You mentioned a complete Ravel; does this mean that you were unable to find a score of Sheherazade?

Thanks and done.
Dear Daphnis, I can't download the Goetschius piano version of Sibelius' first symphony, which I am very interested in. Please can you tell me if you know a possibility where to get a sheet copy? Thank you in advance, sincerely yours laoula
You've got mail on the way. Carolus 05:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Dear Daphnis,
I can't download the full score of the Suor Angelica from 'Il Trittico' by Puccini. I'm interested in the beautifull Intermezzo (for Orchestra) after scene 4, if I'm correct. Is there anyway you can help me?
Seb
Perlnerd alerted me to these – no IMSLP email notification, again, quelle surprise. I think in my exuberation I might have said "I could kiss Daphnis!", but I think you're probably safe from that with me being in the southern hemisphere...
La Prise de Troie clearly must be of rather later origin than Carthage, just by looking at the generation of typesetting. I'd be tempted to think pre-1889, which is the supposed date that both scores were (not) issued by Choudens, or that the plate number for Prise de Troie was reserved for some time later...
Anyway, I think this evening will be reserved for going through both scores with a suitable recording or two on hand! Thanks again for some lovely work.

I still see some of the gesamtausgabe waiting. Also, Kalmus reprinted Benvenuto, which appears to have been a similar situation with Choudens. If you could find that :)-- Snailey (_@/) Talk to Me Email me 02:34, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Great!-- Snailey (_@/) Talk to Me Email me 02:37, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Was there a plan to (re-)issue both of these under the PLP series? I thought I’d seen it discussed on a talk page (or maybe at the forums) but can’t pin the conversation down. If so, La prise de Troie is more or less ready as is – I’m aware of a few oddities but it’s basically a fair reproduction of the first two Acts of the opera. If only I could say the same for the Choudens full score of Les Troyens à Carthage. However, if one were inclined, it would be possible to put together a slightly more comprehensive version of the score to go to print with, by supplementing some of the score (pages from the VS could appear in situ or relegated to an appendix); for the missing Chasse royale et orage it would be fairly easy to include a re-typeset based on one which I have in my possession.

Hi, I'm really interested in getting the score to the Rosenkavalier Suite, which is currently blocked. I understand that it is not in Public Domain in the US but it IS in Hong Kong, which is where I'll be at within a couple days. I'm wondering if there is any way that I could have a copy? Thanks! --NelsonWong 14:25, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
It has a 1965 copyright claim - with a compliant notice - by Salabert. I don't think this would be free even in Canada since it was issued while the composer was still under copyright in the country of origin (which could be France since Salabert is the copyright claimant). You are free to try and talk me out of it, of course! Carolus 03:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
OK. The performance and recording issue with respect to defining "publication" under Canadian law only pertains to works of authors dead over 50 years. In other words, it was intended to prevent copyright claims being made on a newly discovered manuscripts by Mozart (because the work in question was almost surely performed in the composer's lifetime). Enescu had not been dead 50 years when alleged publication took place, only 10. Salabert had US agents from the 1920s on. If they actually printed a score - even a copy of a manuscript - and offered it for sale or rental in 1965 with the required notice they met the requirement for publication in the USA. The difference I see between this Romanian score and the one which Kalmus reprinted is that the Romanians were careful to reproduce Salabert's 1965 copyright claim on the first page of music. Had they issued the score without a notice (as with the Decet) or with another date (which failed to include the original 1965 claim) it would have injected the work into the public domain in the USA in 1968 (It would be eligible for restoration under GATT/TRIPs, however). Carolus 16:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
I really hate to have to block it. There's one angle that might open it up as far as US and Canadian status is concerned: an advertisement on the back page of another Salabert score that we can confirm was issued prior to 1965. Any catalog from before 1965 listing it would potentially undermine the claim of its first publication having taken place in 1965. This all has to do with the definition of "publication" established in case law in the USA and by statute in Canada. Carolus 03:07, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Carolus, any final verdict on whether we can defend this piece? I believe the third symphony is also in the same (sinking?) boat as I obtained a copy today and decided against scanning it because of how miniaturized the print is and how poorly it was reduced. Daphnis 23:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
(sorry for my bad english....) I sometimes make scores with lilypond, a computer program for music engraving. I can make PDF files, or ".ly" files which are very little files and which everybody (who knows how to use lilypond) can change. I didn't found a website to share online the ".ly" scores I or someone else made. I will add the PDF files in IMSLP, but I want to know if it is possible to add the ".ly" files too. thanks. Sophinett 17:39, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I will try to do it. Sophinett 18:02, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Chip, it's been almost two years since I half-finished uploading the Massenet song collection and I'm happy to report I'm back at it! I still have all of the scans you sent me on my hard drive and I should have every song published in the 8 collected volumes posted in both keys within the next few days. I will also be uploading some other Massenet scores I own and trying to get my hands on other songs and vocal works not included in the 8 published collections. Cheers! Massenetique 22:54, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello -- I came across a PDF online today of the complete score to "Contes mystiques", which I assume you are aware of because I see you uploaded Saint-Saens' contribution to the work (Présage de la croix) some time ago. I wondered if you had an opinion as to whether the individual songs should be uploaded by composer or if it should be uploaded as a collection under "Various", or both? Let me know what you think. Thanks! Massenetique 00:06, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
hello....i'm italin soprano...i search of Turina: "3 arias" for soprano e piano...but dont download here...can you send me the arias in my mail address? Djamileh
No. Daphnis 22:08, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi -- just wanted to let you know that IMSLP now has available at least a vocal score for 22 of Massenet's 25 extant operas -- due largely to a great number of scans from U of Toronto that I found at archive.org -- and I have finished uploading the collected mélodies in both keys (160 songs total). Might you have access to any full scores of the orchestral suites (Scènes dramatiques and Scènes de féerie in particular)? Massenetique 00:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I can get my hands on those two vocal scores. If you can't get La grand'tante let me know and I'll give it a shot. Very nice work! Glad to see another French composer getting adequate representation here. Daphnis 14:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, I've been reading (it's not a very clear or concise section of the law). Here's what I think is the case: Since Enescu died less than 50 years before the present Canadian copyright law came into force (1985), the 50-year clock started ticking the first time the piece was "performed in public or communicated to the public by telecommunication" after his death. If he had died before 1935, the only way the work would be eligible for the 50-year term would be if the piece were not "performed in public or communicated to the public by telecommunication" while the composer was alive. Carolus 01:29, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Ironically, we don't yet know the date of the first public performance or recording given after his death. If the piece was performed in Bucharest at a memorial concert in 1956, it's free in Canada. If it was performed, broadcast or recorded for the first time after his death in 1960, it will enter Canada's public domain on January 1. I might post a question on the MLA forum to see if anyone there might have an idea. Also, since there is a fairly high chance that the piece was actually performed, broadcast, etc. before 1960, I'm retagging Canadian status to "C". Carolus 02:03, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
My public library has a good recording of this - thanks for uploading it :) Eric 14:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Daphnis. Thank you for the wonderful Ravel and Debussy scans! I'm wondering whether you have any immediate plans for uploading some of the missing songs by Debussy? To be specific, I was looking for the mélodies put to the poems by Theodore de Banville (Souhait, Le Lilas, Reverie, etc.) Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work!--Adj boy 22:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
1984! I didn't realize there was so many works which went unpublished until so recently... Thanks for letting me know, I guess I'll try to accure it by some other means.--Adj boy 09:14, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
i saw that you have uploaded a bartok string quartet once, but i can't open that file would you mind telling me where can i get a sheet copy? thanks a lot =)
Since it was I who requested this work I wished to thank you for the beautiful scan you've uploaded!!! I've enjoyed very much also your Puccini's scans, I downloaded Tosca's full score some time ago and it was simply marvelous! Keep up the good work! --Andrea89 02:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Hallo Daphnis I am missing Page 26-27 Be so kind and upload a complete score. Klaus

Well the list is already gigantic. Now, should we outsource this to a subpage? I thought that there was talk of merging the Peters page back in, so I'll hold off for now.-- Snailey (_@/) Talk to Me Email me 13:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Actually, editing is the problem (I'm sure you've noticed the warning). We could put the table into several collapsible tables. Or we could create a scrollbox.-- Snailey (_@/) Talk to Me Email me 00:25, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Daphnis, I agree with Perlnerd that this is a fantastic bit of work. I’ve devised a new template to help with a variety of works tables, which always seem to list the composer and the work in adjacent columns, of which the Durand page is a monster example. It saves even more in terms of page length than the LinkComp and NoComp templates used up until now. You need three parameters to make it work:
e.g. {{CSW|Camille|Saint-Saëns|La Carnaval des Animaux|a=(full score)}} results in: Saint-Saëns || La Carnaval des Animaux (full score)
The column separators will work properly in the context of a table.
Caveats: don’t use it on a composer with weird name thingies (such as Vincent d’Indy); don’t use it for works that don’t have a page on the Wiki.

This is my first time posting on the site. The links for the Score for this dont work, is there any other way to obtain the score from you? I've looked everywhere and can't find it, either for download or sale anywhere on the internet. --Hungrytako 17:50, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Is it possible for a Canadian to access the score? Or is it unaccesable for everyone? Thanks, Hungrytako 18:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Do you know of any other way to obtain it? I've been searching for years for this score, calling every publisher, library and person I could think of with no result. There must be somebody still selling it or lending it somwhere. I'd pay any price for it. Hungrytako 18:20, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Was that file already uploaded, or non-PD? I missed something- apologies :) Eric 15:43, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Hadn't noticed the complete score was there- ah, I see now. I didn't know the work was op. 14 until I downloaded it, and was looking for the work by the title of no. 6, which I thought was the title of the work- then when I figured things out, changed the title of the page I was creating without checking to see, etc. - yes, my mistake! Thanks. Eric 16:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
You were listed as the uploader so I though you might want to know that Page 8 of the score is missing.
I apparently added the missing page in March of last year, and I just looked at the posted score. Everything is there. You might want to make sure you aren't looking at a cached copy. Daphnis 17:45, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that the person who uploaded the original source of the Arthur scans removed them from Sibley and uploaded other ones more recently (these ) . No idea if there was a reason for this (better scans, whimsy, or anything. Just did so.) Of course, this happens once in awhile in general - hope I might point it out though. And thank you for all your help - very much appreciated - Eric 17:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Agreed- thought maybe the new entry might be a better scan, not a different publication, but I really should compare them myself before conjecturing any the least such thing of course. You're quite right- many apologies! Eric 17:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
As of January 1 of this year, it would appear that anything of his first published more than 25 years ago (1984 and before) entered the public domain in France - the country of origin. This will not have a great effect on things here, but it might free some items to be available at IMSLP-EU, as Canada observes a type of "Rule of the Shorter Term" for works whose country of origin is not a member of NAFTA. Now the only thing covering Satie works in Canada is the 25-year rubric of Editio Princeps. The French term of life-plus-70, plus 14 years for the wars is now finished. Carolus 23:04, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank you so much for uploading the full score of Scènes de féerie! This is a score I have never seen and one that few libraries own so I really appreciate it! Massenetique 06:17, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Another great upload with Scènes dramatiques, thank you! If you had access to the full score of Scènes alsaciennes (Suite No.7) that would be a very welcome addition as well. Of the seven suites IMSLP now has full scores of 3, 4, and 6 -- those and the seventh are the best known (the seventh in fact probably the best of all Massenet's suites) and it would be great to have those 4 in full score. The remaining suites -- No. 1 (no title), No.2 (Scènes hongroises) and No.5 (Scènes napolitaines) would of course be great to see as well but 2 and 5 may be hard to get, the first I may be able to get my hands on. Thanks for all your hard work! Cheers, Massenetique 00:58, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks so much for completing the uploads of Massenet suites -- you're my hero! Massenetique 06:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
