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.

Misc. Notes This file is part of the Sibley Mirroring Project. There are various misprints, e.g. (1) In all parts, in the Rondo 30 bars after the first piano cadenza, there is a pattern shown as 2 bars tutti (no V1), 2 bars' rest (piano solo), then repeated, but the second piano solo is actually 6 bars' rest, so change 2->6 in V1 p6 line 6, V2/Vc p6 line 1, Va p5 line 4 from bottom, DB p5 line 6 [second set of rests]. (2) V1 p5 line 5 from bottom bar 4 from end, quaver rest missing. (3) V1 p7 line 2 first note is A natural. (4) V2 p5 Rondo lines 2+3 and p6 line 7 pizz. superfluous. (5) V2 p7 mid-page second pizz. -> arco.
