Clarification of sheet music price. This score is available for USD28 or GBP14. I'm aware that these amounts are not equivalent! The reason is that, as a self-publishing arranger and composer, I have two separate licences that grant me permission to distribute the Fantasy-Sonata based on the copyright-controlled melody Over the Rainbow. One is from Alfred Music, for sales to the Americas, Asia and Africa, under which the agreed sale price is USD28. The other is from Music Sales Ltd, authorising sales only to countries in Europe, and this agreement was based on a GBP14 retail price. So I am legally permitted to sell a limited number of copies, at a fixed priced, to musicians in each area. If I were in control of the copyright, I would make the prices the same: this would be both fairer for the customer and administratively easier for me! I hope this explains the anomaly - Paul Ayres.
