Those of you who attended Cyberband '97 may remember the
run through of Villenelle, the horn solo by Paul Dukas. Dukas died
in 1935 which means that his music is still in copyright in the EU.  More
correctly it went out of copyright under the old 50 years UK rule
then came back in again when the EU changed the law.

I sought, and was granted, permission to arrange Villenelle for the UK
only. However, I've recently been asked about it's use in the US. Does anyone
know if I need to seek (pay for) further rights, whether it is still in copyright in the US,
or if the law allows me (a non US-Citizen) to sell Dukas' music in the US
without any more ado?
