I've had this on one or two things and many other users have had
utterly and completely spurious claims on things that are centuries
out of copyright - but which may well exist in current editions of
course.
There definitely are a number of scamming organisations automatedly
sweeping up things like yours. You are likely to find that ads are
put over or by your video if you acknowledge the claim.
Personally I would delete the upload and start again, omitting
mention of OUP. And if it happens again try disputing it. I did
this on my Tarrega Capricho video and the claim went away.

No doubt it's all my fault - but this is a strange case. I uploaded
a video to youtube yesterday and I got a notification: "Matched
third-party content".
That's not the really odd bit though.
The video I uploaded was a modern piece and I've done similar
before and in the description I have written the publication and
the date. But yesterday, perhaps
in a senior moment, I also included the publisher, OUP. As it was
uploading I got a notification that it was taking longer than
normal. I thought something was odd
and deleted the reference to OUP - but, perhaps too late. On the
other hand it's also possible that notification of "Matched third-
party content" is not connected at all to my including
OUP in the description.
If I click on "Matched third-party content" I get this screen:

So my video 'may include a song owned by a third party' and one or
more music publishing societies may administer the rights. But the
really, really odd thing is that youtube is
very clear at the point in the video in which the 'matched content'
starts...15 seconds in... not from the beginning. But I am playing
from the very start of the video and after 15 seconds
I've got to bar 12. So the first 15 bars of Howard Skempton's
Prelude 5 from Images is not 'matched content' but after 15
seconds, for an unspecified amount of time, it is. I now have two
options:
to dispute or acknowledge this. (And I don't know what
'acknowledge' amounts to)
I contacted Howard Skempton, who seems to be a sporting chap and
doesn't mind me having a crack at his pieces on a lute, and told
him about this. He strongly urged me to dispute the matter.
If I choose to dispute it, I get this screen:
http://www.pluckedturkeys.co.uk/Untitled-2.jpg
There are seven options and the first three tell me that they are
not valid and the 'acknowledge' button is inviting me to press it.
Howard Skempton tells me that OUP hold the rights. I
haven't got a licence or permission from OUP (just as hundreds of
thousands of others on youtube who are playing music from books
they have - or haven't - bought).
Fair enough, I reluctantly suppose, OUP are the holders of the
rights of the score and I haven't got specific permission from OUP
(even though the actual composer is fine about it and I played the
piece
and took the photo).
But what does 'acknowledge' mean? And what about the first 15 seconds?
Could this possibly be some sort of scam? If I click 'acknowledge'
do adverts start appearing and the minute amount of money start
flowing - or trickling - to some dodgy copyright corporation?
