What is the difference between reprinted music and public domain?
B-Note offers three kinds of editions: Own editions, public domain music and reprints. Our own editions are copyrighted as usual, but we mostly allow copying for private purposes – e.g. for choir performance. Reprints are revised reproductions of older editions of works in the public domain. Depending on the grade of revision, these B-Note editions can have an own copyright. But we concede private copies for these editions, too. Public domain editions are printed books of free, public available music sources. They can be reproduced unlimited.
