Uncredited/Unacknowledged use of melody?

[edit]

Just an observation: why is it that David Guion, the early 20th century composer, isn't "called out" for his composition for the piano "Pastorale"? Listen to it: it is a clear copy of "Farewell to Tarwathie", at least to my ears. Arrangements are fine, but not when there is no indication of the original tune that is being arranged. (It's my understanding that this is a whaling song from the 1800s.) 2601:447:CF82:4100:E461:AD3A:5AFE:22C1 (talk) 05:38, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
