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. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

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). 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.

More information can be found here.
Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.
Copyright
Misc. Notes 600 dpi. Page size is 10.00 x 12.688 inches. This is one of the editions that shares the fortunes of both sufficient awareness of textual critique and fidelity and beautiful hand engraving of the highest quality. A rare treasure, completely worth purchasing the cloth-bound printed version. Max Schneider did some preliminary work for this volume during his lifetime before publication.

In the USA this work is most likely in the public domain because no renewal was found after a thorough search of the Catalog of Copyright Entries and it was ineligible for "restoration" under GATT/TRIPS.
This item, which is in the public domain in its country of origin, is likewise in the public domain in countries which apply the rule of the shorter term. All EU countries apply the rule of the shorter term in general.
Note that in some cases this rule may be overridden by a treaty with the source country (especially the United States) and/or may not apply to works which fell into the public domain in their source country due to a failure to renew copyright or comply with other formalities.

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. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

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). 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.

9d/15. Und sie wurden sehr betrübt
9e/15. Herr, bin ich's?
10/16. Ich bin's, ich sollte büßen
11/17. Er antwortete und sprach
12/18. Wiewohl mein Herz in Tränen schwimmt
13/19. Ich will dir mein Herze schenken
14/20. Und da sie den Lobgesang gesprochen hatten
15/21. Erkenne mich, mein Hüter
16/22. Petrus aber antwortete

18/24. Da kam Jesus mit ihnen zu einem Hofe
19/25. O Schmerz! Hier zittert das gequälte Herz

52/61. Können Tränen meiner Wangen
53a/62. Da nahmen die Kriegsknechte
53b/62. Gegrüßet seist du, Jüdenkönig!
