@The Lost Folio Thank you very much anyway! @Marc Nice to hear your experience. It is quite useful information for us. > one day I was notified that they would all be taken down due to the fact that Williams had decided that he only wanted “official” products available on the internet ! Did you discuss further with Williams? If you still have the e-mail address who notified you the decision of Williams, could you please share that with us?? @GerateWohl > By ear maybe? Then it is not an arrangement but a transcription and of course under Williams' copyright. > Or it is an own arrangement of the Gardel piece. Then it has nothing to do with Williams' work. She transcribed but added / arranged some part of the music. So this is not the same to Williams' arrangement anymore.

Hi The Lost Folio, Thank you very much for your reply. > The piece was originally written by Carlos Gardel, who died in 1935 and whose music, as far as I can tell, is no longer under copyright I understand. My apologies, my explanation was not clear enough. The YouTube clip that Tomoko referred to is the arrangement of "Por una cabeza" by John Williams. Therefore we believe, without his permission Tomoko should not perform / sell her arrangement i.e. an arrangement of the arrangement of John Williams. For legal clarification, she is ready to share the music sheet as well as the YouTube video of her arrangement (private). Do you know how to request permission to arrange his arrangement work? Aki

# Dear moderator, I am posting here because this site https://jwfan.com/?page_id=235 says "For questions about John Williams and his works, we strongly suggest that you post a message o­n our John Williams Forum", but if it is not appropriate, please let me know. === Hello, I have a question about the work of John Williams about "Por una Cabeza". My friend Tomoko - professional pianist and composer, was inspired by the YouTube video of "Por una cabeza " performed by John Williams & Itzhak Perlman and she arranged it with her originality. As a professional musician, she would like to perform her arrangement at her concerts and on YouTube, also she would like to sell her arrangement on online platforms. She already contacted Hal Leonard and Alfred Music which published the musical sheet of "Por una cabeza". She would also like to have permission from Mr.John Williams due to his right of "musical arrangement". https://www.romanolaw.com/no-you-dont-own-your-arrangement-of-that-hit-song/ Is here a proper place to discuss? If no, can anybody suggest where to contact? Thank you very much. Aki
