Isaac,
The short answer is that copyright means exactly that, and the owners do not
have to make it available. It is not public domain till 70 years (in the
USA, 50 in Canada) after the death of the composer, and rights belong to his
estate. You may ask the publishers for permission to make a single copy.
This is not the same as performing right. If you can borrow the music from a
friend or a library, you can perform it for free for a nonprofit
organization or by paying a fee to one of the umbrella organizations that
handle performing right fees.

I'm hoping to put this piece on an upcoming recital, but
I've been advised by TrevCo that music is POP (perm. out of print) - he is
trying to get the publishing rights but not having much success so far.
If anyone has of any ideas of how I could obtain the music I would be very
grateful.
While of course I want to make every obtain the music legitimately, how are
the rules of copyright applied if you cannot otherwise legally obtain the
music you want to perform?
Look forward to hearing from the list.
Thanks,
Isaac
