That is correct. The piece in question, Bobrowicz' Variations on la Ci Darem la Mano op. 6, is available from the Rischel & Birket Smith Collection in the Royal Library of Copenhagen. My edition of it clearly stated the source, and it would have been no problem for the predator to go there, get a copy of the original and do his own editing and his own mistakes. At the time, one would have needed to write to the library and asks for copies. Today these copies are available for download from the library's web site. The issue there was not the music, but MY editorial work. That is protected and I will continue to protect as much as I can. Matanya Ophee Editions Orphe'e, Inc., 1240 Clubview Blvd. N.
