And another thing....
Having established a business, he's entitled to bequeath it to his progeny upon his death, and thus two things are ensured: a continuation of a service of value to the community, and, a financial legacy that can be inherited by his children. "Passing down the business from father to son/daughter". Very traditional stuff.
The service of value to community by the composer is ensured whether or not he still has copyright, and actually better serves the community if it is public domain. It has nothing whatsoever to do with whether it is bequeathed to his progeny.
He hasn't "established a business," unless he is personally publishing and distributing the music. If someone else is publishing it, he's effectively either an employee or a contractor. I currently work as a programmer for a software firm. When I die, I am not given anything special. Perhaps they will say something at my funeral. I provided a service, for which I was paid money. Also not receiving a legacy are janitors, telemarketers, engineers, or newscasters. If he is a contractor, the business likewise doesn't go on. Just because I work on contract, doesn't mean my kids, with no programming experience, will suddenly be hired by all my former clients. And if he HAS established a publishing business, THAT business can be bequeathed to his progeny.
