Delius was born in 1862, twenty-four years before the signing in
1886 of the Berne Convention, the international convention for the
protection of literary and artistic works of which Great Britain
was a founder member. During Delius's lifetime came the birth of
the record industry, the development of exercising the performing
right, the introduction of the mechanical right, and the advent of
films and broadcasting. Robert Montgomery and Robert Threlfall
chronicle Delius's dealings with his publishers and the Performing
Right Society (PRS) through his copious correspondence. Virtually
all of the very early letters have been lost, but his
correspondence in German with Harmonie Verlag of Berlin, Tischer
& Jagenberg of Cologne, and Universal Edition of Vienna is
almost complete. This book provides a selection of translations of
these letters, most of which have never been seen before, and
offers a unique insight into how a leading twentieth-century
composer earned his living from composition in the changing
environment of the world of music. Some of the problems that Delius
encountered were because the administrative procedures brought in
by Berne were in their infancy. Equally important in building a
picture of Delius's publishing affairs is the Delius file in the
PRS archive, to which Jelka Delius wrote in English, and which
contains both sides of the correspondence. The book also covers the
period after Delius's death when the Delius Trust, as the legal
representative of his estate, took over responsibility for
administering copyrights and promoting his music. The book provides
a valuable model for the methodology involved in presenting a
history of music publishing. It will provide a useful springboard
for scholars to look at other composers in terms of their published
material and how this relates to the general dissemination of their
work.
