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.

Extra Information Contemporaneously referred to as either "The Orchestra Concerto" or "The Second Overture in Amadigi". The former name was given, because it was performed "For the Benefit of the Instrumental Musick" at the King's Theatre benefit night. In early prints of 1st ed. of the Op.3 collection, a spurious concerto (printed as "Op.3 No.4a") was accidentally substituted. This spurious concerto (composer is anonymous) is now referred to as "Op.3 No.4b".
