Well, it would have been in most European countries. Mahler died in 1911, and in 1969, when the Sinfonia was published, the 50 year rule still applied most places. There was probably one exceptional country (possibly Spain, IIRC, but my wife remembers Germany), because the extension to 70 years was explained by a spokesman for the EU as "harmonization" to the longest copyright period of any member country. If it was Spain, I don't suppose Berio had much expectation of performances under the Franco régime, which continued to 1975.
