I was wondering just how permission on something that would be considered classical would work. Recently in my music tech class (which I am in now lol) had a project to do. We had to take an old recording of my teacher playing Elite Syncopations composed by Scott Joplin and fix it up and make it sound pretty and what not. Now that I have the recording nice I want to step and then more then likely submit, but I need to know what kind of permission I am going to need. Am I just going to have to get permission from my teacher who played the recording, or is there more that I am going to have to do first?

Re: Classical Music
You'll just need permission from the performer, I think Joplin is public domain. -
Re: Classical Music
depends on when it was composed. public domain is anything composed pre-1923. anything composed in 1923 or later, you'd need permission from the estate of scoot joplin. most of his works are pre-1923 though.
beyond that, just need your teacher's permission, as he/she was the one who performed it?RIPComment

Re: Classical Music
Yeah, I don't want to bother trying to get permissions from the performers, so I am gonna try and do some music on Finale.
I am pretty sure you can do that, thats what GGC sounds like.Comment

Re: Classical Music
Im taking Jazz History in collage. Apparently if I remember correctly, 1923 is when they started copyrighting songs and started making recording companies to record music. I believe this is the case. This was the time during Tin Pan Alley where it was famouse because Tin Pan Alley was a street devoted to stores selling sheet music and record companies. By this time, recording technology were sufficiant enough to start recording songs decently. Before them musicians performed in groups around the country. Im pretty sure Im correct.
Jazz history, very interesting subject actually. Highly recommend people take the class if possible since it really ties into FFR. One of our assignments in class was to study Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. It was easy since it was on FFR. Jazz History Class for the win. Lots of watching movies and listenbing to tons of great jazz songs.Last edited by operationstrawbarry; 11-15-2007, 10:08 PM.Comment
