File talk:Johann Strauss - G'schichten aus dem Wienerwald, Op.325.ogg

Source and license

I’m just documenting a discrepancy here that I noticed, but am not sure what to do with.

The Musopen link for this file (under “source”), https://www.musopen.org/music/piece/1259, currently redirects to https://musopen.org/music/9991-viennese-spirit-op-354/, a page about Wiener Blut (Viennese Spirit), which is a different waltz by the same composer. The current Musopen page for G’schichten aus dem Wienerwald, https://musopen.org/music/9896-tales-from-the-vienna-woods-op-325/, has a recording which sounds like it could be the same audio file as this one on Commons; the recording there is marked as CC BY 3.0, whereas the page here has {{Cc-zero}}.

However, the file here was uploaded back in 2012, and a 2012 Wayback Machine capture of the original Musopen link lists four parts, including G’schichten aus dem Wienerwald (so the link would’ve been correct at the time). Given that the Wiener Blut Musopen page still gives the license for that recording as Public Domain Mark, it’s possible that, in 2012, this also applied to the G’schichten aus dem Wienerwald recording (though strictly speaking {{PD-self}} might be a more accurate tag than {{Cc-zero}} in that case). That said, I can’t find any copyright indication for the recording in the 2012 capture.

Also, nobody seems to know where the recording came from: https://musopen.org/music/9896-tales-from-the-vienna-woods-op-325/questions/21/, where that question was raised before, hasn’t been answered in over three years. The performer listed on Musopen now is European Archive Music; given that this non-profit became defunct in 2018, it seems difficult to impossible to discover where they originally got the recording from.

This might not be enough to warrant a file deletion, but it’s a dreadful mess… :/ Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 17:35, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
