Double Bass Shostakovich bass parts?

You'll have to go to a music library or ask your local orchestra:

All works by this person are still under copyright in Canada, the EU, Japan, and elsewhere and are thus subject to deletion. The works are also probably copyrighted in the U.S. if first published after 1926. (See public domain.) An exception is if the person or copyright holder allows IMSLP to use the works in a manner similar to a work in the public domain. If this is the case, please choose the "Creative Commons" or "Performance Restricted" license instead of "Public Domain" when submitting the file (or edit it to such, if already submitted). In such cases, it is necessary to put a copyright notice with the copyright type somewhere in the file, to prevent confusion.

Is it possible and legal to get a practice part from the music library of whatever orchestra you are playing these things for? I've had pdfs of pieces not yet in public domain made available to me prior to first rehearsal, and always was under the impression there was no violation of copyright law in that. Could be wrong?
