She’s directing the orchestra. It’s semantically different than prompting.
It’s not like the conductor just says “okay, play Canon in D” and calls it quits. She actively participates in the performance and creation of the end work. And different conductors can absolutely yield different versions of the exact same arrangement. They’re as much a performer as any of the instrumentalists.
So yes, they get royalties like the other performers.
- cellis 2y agoHow is that any different than a prompt engineer other than the degree to which "...actively participates in the performance and creation"?
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThe degree is the important factor. Many seem to be ignoring the "merit and effort" portions of copyright. A conductor has control over the tempo and cadence of the entire piece. They can choose to pause the entire performance on the spot and then resume right where they left off. They may adjust sections to play louder or quieter based on weather and acoustics. And that's all during performance. There's work needing in at the bare minimum arranging pieces based on the band.
