I guess this would count as performance and clearly is an
infringement of copyright law. IMHO copyright (in the US) has very
good intensions but it's a law that is hard to follow and is
contradictional to common sense and habits. I'm lucky not to live in
the US but in switzerland with a more liberal
(and practical) understanding of copyright. An arrangement as Tom
did would count as "fair use"
(http://www.copyright.ch/?sub_id=47&leng=0),
Even that's debatable. "Fair use" (which is not the term used in the
swiss law) only applies to works you got from the copyright holder. So
I you buy an edition/recording from the copyright holder you can
create "fair use"-copies. You already paid for that use, so to speak.
