« Back to FAQs A clarinetist has performed my violin sonata without permission. Do I need to change the registration?

If your work is performed as a transcription for another instrument, then you’d still be credited with the performance of the original version of the work. There is no need to update the registration unless you’ve created an official alternate instrumentation for one of the works that already appears in your catalog. In the latter case, email classical@bmi.com to add the new instrumentation to the existing title.
