Vienna: Universal Edition, 1972. 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.
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.

Instrumentation from notes to new Naxos recording.
In 1972 Universal Edition published a revised edition prepared by the Franz Schmidt-Gemeinde, Austria and Karl Trötzmüller. Musikproduktion-Höflich released a reissue of this 1972 publication (not the 1914 first edition full score & parts) in 2013. The preface to the 1972 edition notes that Schmidt did not review the proofs of the 1914 score and parts, that they were not used or usable in preparing the 1972 edition given the number of differences between the autograph score and the first edition. This revised edition can also be viewed (for perusal only) @ Universal Edition's website (see external links).
Schmidt's manuscript first movement has In dieser Fassung beginnt... 1911, which apparently refers (In this version..) to the fact that while the symphony was begun in 1911, the symphony was conceived as a piano sonata.
