Mea culpa!

Obviously I have done some bad research on copyright matters, and I am heartily ashamed!
Today, Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG. attended me on the fact that they are the owner of the worldwide copyright on one of the works I published on the Cello Library CD-rom:
György Ligeti: Sonate für Violoncello solo
I removed this work from my database and it will not make part of the Cello Library v4.02 as it is sold from now on.
I will pay the revenue I received on this work to Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG.
Further, Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG. brought to my attention, that the following works of Fritz Kreisler may have fallen into the public domain in the United States, but are fully protected by copyright laws outside the U.S.:
Toy Soldiers’ March
Rondino über ein Thema von Beethoven
Caprice Viennois, op. 2
Miniature Viennese March
Aucassin und Nicolette
Syncopation
Old Folks at Home
Liebesfreud
Liebesleid
Schön Rosmarin
This one puzzles me a bit, because I used the editions of Charles Foley aka Carl Fisher (proven public domain!), as the source for my Kreisler violin collections, and NOT any of the Schott editions.
But untill this matter is cleared with Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG. none of the products, nor samples, containing (parts of) these works will be available on this website or my eBay shop.
The collection „Klassische Manuskripte für Cello und Klavier” is discontinued, because this collection contained three af the above named titles that were derived from old (1912) Schott editions.
I will pay the revenue I received on these works to Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG.
If you are in need for any of the above named titles, you can buy them in the Schott webshop
