Mar 1, 2015 at 22:49 comment added NReilingh @SomeDudeOnTheInterwebs I think I was misunderstood -- I am saying the question itself has more to do with history and musicology, about which I am not qualified to answer. I only made the point about IMSLP because OP mentioned that in his thought process.
Mar 1, 2015 at 22:48 comment added Some Dude On The Interwebs @NReilingh: it doesn't seem obvious to me, since here we are using the availability or lack thereof of a work on IMSLP to make a guess on its copyright status and preservation status. What I mean is that IMSLP is completely irrelevant to the OP's question.
Mar 1, 2015 at 22:45 comment added NReilingh @SomeDudeOnTheInterwebs I would have thought that was obvious.
Mar 1, 2015 at 22:44 comment added Some Dude On The Interwebs "IMSLP hosts scores that are in the public domain." True, but not all scores that are in the public domain :) History and musicology have little to do with this.
Feb 28, 2015 at 20:07 comment added Stan Shunpike Just to add to this, I believe the technical term is a derivative work. And, while any score based on Strauss is a derivative, because the original work is in the public domain all derivatives are then copyrightable by their creators. So, as you say, recreated scores would be copyrighted and not publishable on IMSLP.
