Subj: [kl] Copyright question
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 08:14:08 -0400

I might have the opportunity to record the remainder of the Rubank "Concert
and Contest Collection" this summer. (Some of you know that I already
recorded the Bassi Nocturne from this collection.

Most of the pieces in the collection have a 'copyright' of around 1947 or so.
But most of the works themself are much older and should be public domain.

Here is my question: And please, no speculative answers! I need facts only.

Will the label need to pay royalties if we don't refer to the finished
product as "Concert and Contest Collection?" And what if we do call it that?

Thanks.
