Performance Licensing

Licenses are not needed for performances in private homes, churches, and educational institutions. Professional performances of Karl Weigl’s music are licensed by Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) and should be arranged through that organization. The Karl Weigl Foundation would greatly appreciate information on all performances, so that performance documentation (see Performances) may be kept as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible.

Copyright and Sources

Karl Weigl’s music remains under copyright protection. Materials for performance and study are available from two principal sources: the American Composers Alliance (ACA), and the Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music. The ACA, a nonprofit auxiliary arm of BMI and publisher of record for most of the songs and chamber music, distributes materials for these works in the form of reprint editions and digitally scanned manuscript copies; copyrights for these works are held by the Karl Weigl Foundation. Full scores and orchestral parts for Weigl’s large works—most of these copyrights are still held by commercial publishers—are available from the Edwin A. Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music, a public lending library within the Free Library of Philadelphia. The Karl Weigl Foundation also possesses scores and performing materials to many of Weigl’s works and can provide photocopies for study.
