    Nope. Would not have guessed that at all.

    Here's a piece of trivia for y'all: Ravel was so taken with Larry Adler's adaptation of Bolero for harmonica (yes, Adler was a harmonica virtuoso) that he granted him lifetime free performance rights. Supposedly, this came in handy later when Adler played at a benefit concert and someone dropped out or didn't show, so he was able to stretch his performance out by playing Bolero without adding to the charity's expenses. I'm not sure i believe that story because I would expect him to have played Bolero in any case, but who knows? ruclips.net/video/fz1wwnIA60w/видео.html

    Very informative, Mr. Das.
    I don't think I have seen a photo of Ravel before. He was a pretty suave lookin' cat.
    Score RUclips algorithm. Exactly the strange historical trivia I love.
    Oddly the rights to "Conan the Barbarian" were held until 1999 by the writer's father's best friend's wife's daughter's cousin's widow's children.

      yes it's interesting. It was accidental but I spoke to the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter of... Nicola Tesla. She did not imagine someone would notice or guess. Thats needing a whole lotta coretexis,... figurative for the number or count in human number system.. No less, nevertheless, the more immersive are these productions of great insight and depth, otherwise I wouldn't be here, but that is kind of a paradox, I don't like where this goes, where it was, started.
      they killed it..
      it.

    This is great. People need to learn more about this stuff. And thanks to the Bono amendment, many of the works gained another 20 years. Very complicated.

    But it is out of copyright protection in most other countries, correct? Generally speaking, isn't EU copyright law life plus 70?
    Speaking of copyrights and music, one of the better stories is how the film It's a Wonderful Life lost its copyright protection but the studio had the copyright on the score, essentially extending the copyright on the film.
    Having just wrapped up the two estates of my parents it always amazes me how people have their hands out when there is money to be had, whether they deserve or earned it, or not.
    Would love to hear the copyright story of the Happy Birthday To You song. Haven't heard a definitive story on it yet.

      Not sure about other countries. It may be.

      ​@@brucefreadrich1188 Both Ravel and Conan's stories sound like the explanation of why Ferris Bueller wasn't in school. A flow chart is necessary!
