The Nutcracker Suite

• Mar 31, 2019 - 08:46

Hi, I surfed the Internet a few days ago, and I found an arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite by Nicolas Economou. I really want to upload it here, but the arranger passed away at 1993. Can I still upload it?

You sure can. Whether you're allowed to legally is a different question, depends on whether the arranger holds any copyright, which is likely the case. Ask a lawyer.

So ask the folks at Alfred Publishing. I'm about 99.9% sure their answer will be that they own the copyright and that they don't allow you to publish.

And indeed, see their copyright message on the sheets:

© 1988 CPP/BELWIN, Inc.
All Rights Assigned to and Controlled by ALFRED PUBLISHING CO., INC.
All Rights Reserved

And later

© 1988 BELWIN-MILL PUBLISHING CORP. (ASCAP)

All Rights Reserved including Public Performance for Profit

Pretty clear statements, no lawyer needed...

Unless you want to challange their claim.
