I was able to remove from the market an
edition of PD material by another publisher, which was based on my
edition of the same piece. I have made a few editorial changes to the
original, and also included (unintentionally of course) two mistakes.
The predators copied all my editorial changes and my mistakes without
credit or permission. Since then, I insure that every edition of mine
of PD material contains a lot of editorial work and at least two
mistakes
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.
