Harmonie Verlag
Berlin, Germany
An examination of the musical copyright entries in the United States Library of Congress, as of April 1, 1937, under the name of HARMONIE VERLAG, Berlin, Germany, listed in the SESAC brochure dated June 1, 1936 as a publisher or organization included under its license, disclosed the following information.
It was found that it the period 1870 to 1909, approximately 150 copyright entries had been recorded in the name of HARMONIE VERLAG. We do not list these compositions individually because of the fact that the original copyright period of 28 years’ copyright protection has expired and, except in the case of 17 musical works, we failed to find any record of renewal in the name of the composers and authors.
Of the 17 renewals made for a second term of 28 years’ copyright protection, as prescribed by the laws of the United States, none of them have been renewed by HARMONIE VERLAG in the name of the composer or author. We list below the 17 copyright entries which have been renewed in the name of the author or composer or his heirs, and specify in parentheses by whom the renewals were made.
Renewals of compositions originally copyrighted by Harmonie Verlag. It should be noted that of the 17 renewals only 2 (items No. 2 and No. 16 below) have been made in the name of the composer by the SESAC, the remainder having been renewed in the name of the composer or his heirs, either by the heirs of the composer directly or by E. B. Marks, a member of the ASCAP.

As reported elsewhere in this report, numerous complications arise in connection with all renewals. It is impossible to determine from the information available at the Library of Congress who is authorized to dispense the performing rights in these numbers. It will be observed, for example, that in only 2 cases (items 2 and 16) were the renewals entered by the SESAC, and that in no case was the renewal made by HARMONIE VERLAG. The only safe course for the broadcasters to follow, in the absence of specific and authoritative information from licensing societies, is to avoid the use of these selections.
