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.

- Der du von dem Himmel bist
- An die Türen will ich schleichen
- Der Vorhang schwebet hin und her
- Sie liebt mich!
- So tanzet und springet
- Von wem ich's habe, das sag' ich euch nicht
- Tiefe Stille herrscht im Wasser
- Die Nebel zerreissen
- Ich denke dein
- Es war ein Knabe frech gerug
- Ein Blumenglöckchen vom Boden hervor
- Hoch auf dem alten Turme

Composed 3 years after Op.6, according to Martyn.
Premiere date from Martyn, p.61 (date given in Julian as 8 January 1909.) Martyn notes that none of Medtner's works except for Op.17 were concluded in 1908, so 1907 or 1907-9 would be the composition date, despite the claim at Medtner.org.uk?
