Find below my standard answer. Dates/period adapted to specific video, and I think 1922 should be adapted by now. I think key words are Public Dmain, original score/publication/own arrangement. Usually the copyright notice is taken away within hours. Anyway, even if the copyright issue remains, your video will stay online. This is music in the public domain. Originally it appeared in a 17th century manuscript. I play from the original score/I made my own arrangement of the original score. "Music and lyrics published in 1922 or earlier are in the Public Domain in the United States. No one can claim ownership of a song in the public domain. Public Domain music and songs may be used by anyone . . . without permission, without royalties, and without any limitations whatsoever." David

I uploaded a video of myself playing Dowland's `A Fancy' on the guitar to YouTube and my video is marked with a copyright notice: "Fantasia "a Fancy", musical composition administered by: One or more music publishing rights collecting societies What can I do?
