It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1928 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well. |

| Extra Information | Abridged arrangement of the Largo (No.2) from Symphony No.9, Op.95 by Dvořák. Kreisler's arrangement is only 5 bars less than the famous setting for voice and piano published 2 years earlier, Goin' Home by William Arms Fisher. Probably re-titled to avoid any potential IP issues. The opening section from the 2nd movement of Dvořák's symphony is 45 bars (of the complete 127 bars). |
