Classical isn't necessarily non-suable. You can share the sheet music Beethoven wrote, since he's been dead for a long time and his work is in public domain, but each new performance and recording of a given composition is also copyrighted by the musicians(s), since they have invested creative effort into its realisation.
Not that you'd be remotely likely to get fined either way, unless the publishing label is very prestigeous, Warner Classics or maybe Deutsche Grammophon (though even then if you're outside of US/UK or Germany I don't think they'd care).
