“I have known for a while that there are websites where you can essentially download sheet music for free, and I am certainly aware that a lot of the sheet music being downloaded in that manner was written by me. While my wife Georgia has written extensively about this problem, I have tended to sit back, certain that anything I do would just be the tiniest drop in a very large bucket. But about a month ago, I was seized by the idea to try an experiment.”

An interesting exchange between a composer and a user of a sheet music trading website. I don’t really like his analogies at the end though, because they don’t underscore his stance very well at all. Too tired to articulate my thoughts at the moment, but I’m assembling them into a blog post forthcoming.
