Ok, I am confused by all this. So if my arrangement for clarinet is in a
different key with different articulations, cadenzas, embellishments, using
fragments of melodies to compose variations, and other such composition
devices, does that not make my work a whole new work? I did refer to a piano
reduction and complete score of the opera. So does that mean that my
arrangement is no good. I understand I can't copy an arrangement. My work
has many variations where I did change the accompaniment part that you would
hear in the orchestra or piano reduction. I am clueless and really don't
want to be doing something wrong. Can you help me better understand?
