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.
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), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. 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, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

- *Performed (first "Western" public performance?) at the ISCM festival in 1926 - Schissel
- *As in Wührer who adapted Franz Schmidt's piano-left-hand works for piano 2-hands? The same? (Still alive fairly recently (1900-1975 dates - indeed, performed Schmidt's piano concerto sometime in the early 70s, I think...), but then he gave the premiere, not editing involvement &c here, so this doesn't affect copyright here :) ) (Guessing so, so filling in name. Premiere was given at the ISCM festival. Indeed, Myaskovsky's work is mentioned ISCM WMD 1926 Zurich in the description of the 1926 festival's performances, activities, etc. - but pianists mentioned are Gieseking and Maire, not Wührer. Probably?? Gieseking?? - "In Zurich, the pianist Walter Gieseking announced in his recitals of his Fourth Piano Sonata" - see this biography and some other sources.
An article on this festival in Neue Musik, 18Jg, August 1926 issue, notes that Ernst Levy's 5th symphony was given there along with the works by Ferroud and others noted at the ISCM website. Myaskovsky's sonata is mentioned on p.837 and it's suggested that Gieseking substituted for an indisposed Wührer, if my poor German is working right.
