URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland). In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States.

  • "Andante un poco adagio" seems to have been added by another hand in autograph score? (not Mozart, that is), and also is absent entirely from parts; see NMA. (Was this published in the Richault edition of 21 Mozart piano concertos ca.1859- the first appearance of some of them in full score- or not until 1879?) Published in some form (parts or reduction anyway) by 1803 or earlier (as were all of Mozart's original piano concertos, according to Köchel). Seems to have been published in 1795 or so, in this case.
