Sorcha --

Great site! though the music is a wee bit hard for me to read that way ;-), by squinting down at the bottom of the page (the photocopied page, not the web page) it looked like it said that it was "Encoded and enforced" (something like that) by the Library of Congress 1871... Sounds like copyright to me, but I thought American copyright law didn't start until 1900, at least for literature. Is it different for music?
