It is heartening to see my husband's books are still so popular. What is
a disgrace however is that in spite of his continuing sales I have not received any royalties for several years from the publishers, i.e. Music Sales Corporation and Hal Leonard for distribution. I have not received
andy accounting from them either.. My husband and I counted on these
books being our retirement income but they went from being quite a decent royalty to absolute zero.
This is very suspicious and I invite you to draw your own conclusions. Unfortunately I do not have the money to hire lawyers to take on these
giant corporations and they know it.

This reminded me of Matanya Ophee wrote, here on rmcg, on 1/16/12.
I had written:
“Any of the Eleven Preludes by Jonas Tamulionis, published in Editions Orphée's Russian Collection Vol. V would be, IMO, perfect.”

“You think you have the chops for something I published? If so, go for it. It is not my copyright anyway, but belongs to G. Schirmer of New York which is owned by Music Sales, which is owned by some pretty rough types I am
told. I don't know if they will waste cement shoes on you, but they have
ways of making your life miserable. Go ahead, make their day...”

Although, it looks like Music Sales sold its catalog to Hal Leonard
sometime before this article from April of 2018:

I don’t understand this, from the article:
“In addition, Music Sales and Hal Leonard will work together in the future after entering into a global licensing agreement to represent and exploit Music Sales’ copyrights in print.”
Anyway, good luck to you, Marilyn.
