DISCUSSION: John Dante Prevedini leads a discussion about Composers, individuals or collective?, including contributions from David Arditti, Halida Dinova, Robert McCarney and Jane Stanley.
Many musicians currently opt for self-publishing in these days of the internet. Composers self-publish sheet music of their works, authors self-publish books about music and performers self-publish recordings of classical music.
Sometimes it may not be obvious that work has been self-published, because many artists create their own publishing companies and labels.
