Thank you, Gregg... the composer uploaded the clips to his Youtube channel so all is resolved...

The easiest thing would be to find another violinist and guitarist to perform the music, and do a contract then which includes sections on video and internet rights. This composer owns the rights to the music. Why so many songs get re-issued by their original publishers with performers other than the originals is when a contract was signed where the performers owned copyright on their performance but the publisher owned rights to the words and music written by people under contract to the publisher. The original performers get to sell copies of their performance, paying a royalty fee to the publisher for the words and music, but since their contract didn't include exclusive performance rights the publisher is free to have anyone they want do a new performance. Such a fun thing where a song that you'd think would be a single item can have three or more copyrights attached for words, music and performance. Amazing that old recordings ever get re-issued!
