Hooray!  A public-domain copy of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

Years ago I wrote a derivative work based on one of the pictures. Given the date of the composition I assumed I was working from a PD source, but in none of the music libraries I frequented was I able to find a copy that didn't have some more recent editor's copyright notice.

Glancing through the page now, it looks like there's zero difference between the original and the published copy on my shelf. I always suspected as much, but I couldn't be 100% sure I wasn't stepping on some editor's work.

Thanks so much for this link.  It's a wonderful resource.
