However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (like China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide).

Misc. Comments

• Please note the explanation at the beginning of the score about its unusual notation. The score is notated in C, with the bass clarinet, contrabassoon, horns, and contrabasses sounding one octave lower. While the sounding octave of the piccolo is not specified in the score, its written range makes clear that it is notated an octave lower than sounding (as per custom).

• The third movement has the following inscription, from which the symphony evidently derives its nickname:
  “Der Schmerz ist im Schmied, Sein Kummer schlägt hart.” O. J. B. ("Pain is in the blacksmith; his grief strikes hard.")

The inscription at the opening of the movement is from the poem "Schmied Schmerz" by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865-1910), found in Irrgarten der Liebe. Verliebte, launenhafte und moralische Lieder, Gedichte und Sprüche aus den Jahren 1885 bis 1900

• A 1916–1917? Signale für die musikalische Welt issue mentions the first performance of this symphony; not sure more specifically.
