Arrangements of copyrighted pieces
At Pearson Music Works, I will not do an unauthorized arrangement of any copyrighted piece. Written permission must be obtained in order for an arrangement to be created. For information about how to go about obtaining permission, please email me at brad@pearsonmusicworks.com.
Resale of previously arranged material
Another frequently asked question regards the resale of previously arranged material. Again, for reasons of copyright law and for contractual agreements made with the original license, no arrangement of a copyrighted piece of music can be “resold” without a new copyright licensing permission being obtained. If you have heard one of my arrangements and really want to buy that particular arrangement, let me know. I’ll work with you to see if we can get permission to sell it to you.
