Broadly speaking, copyright on a creative work expires 70 years after the creator’s death. This means that the works of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and many other composers are in the public domain – in principle, they may be copied and performed without restriction.

However, you may not normally copy or perform a sheet music edition which you can buy, because an editor also has a copyright on the edition, and an arranger may have, too. The copyright on the edition only expires when all these people have been dead for 70 years.
