Good Day: The 12 Heroic Marches by Telemann are a staple for trumpet players and weddings; and the music is recorded a lot on organ/trumpet CDs. Telemann published these 12 (or it could have been 24) marches and offered them for sale in a 1728 flyer. Telemann's ad specifically mentioned that while all of the marches could be played on solo keyboard, there were two treble instruments and in some marches a trumpet and horn part was provided.
The only copy of Telemann's print that survived was located in Konigsburg, Germany at the University library. That sizable music collection went up in smoke, but Ernst Paetzold apparently made an arrangement for solo instrument and piano (NOT organ) prior to World War 2 (that is my assumption - I don't know this for a fact), and it was published in Berlin in 1949. While I was looking for around online for editions of this piece, I've noticed there are a lot of "arrangements" for sale (usually by trumpet or organ players). Since the original Telemann source(s) vanished, I would assume these new arrangements based on Paetzold's edition. Would these be in copyright violation, especially in Europe where they seem to have much tighter restrictions on "public domain" than here in the United States? I'm curious because I'd like to do an edition myself and base it on the Paetzold, since it's the closest thing we have to the original unfortunately. But would that be "legal?"
