eu-pd-composers

Browse composers likelier to be free to study under EU life+70 rules, with linked IMSLP work pages.

Composer-first filters over a versioned research dump — Wikipedia names, Wikidata enrichment, IMSLP work-page links (not a verified score-file inventory). Heuristic only.

EU public-domain status here is an estimate from the composer's death year only: 70 years after death, counted from 1 January of the following year. It ignores lyricists and librettists, editions, arrangements, posthumous publication rights and national exceptions, such as Spain's longer term for authors who died before 7 December 1987. Not legal advice: check the work itself before you copy, perform or publish it. Composers with no death date on record are marked “death unknown”. Linked IMSLP entries are work pages, not a checked list of score files. Force and style tags are research aids and often wrong (incomplete IMSLP or Wikidata data, rules of thumb, or language-model guesses); verify before relying on them.
