from Part III - Cultural Engagement and Musical Life
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 October 2020
The Genossenschaft Deutscher Tonsetzer (GDT: Association of German Composers) was founded on January 14, 1903 and became the first successful collective management organization in Germany. Its establishment followed two failed attempts to establish an institution for musical performing rights and is best understood through consideration of those prior attempts, which, though unsuccessful, set the stage for the founding of the GDT. This chapter also considers the role of Richard Strauss and his friends Friedrich Rösch and Hans Sommer in addition to that of the German music dealers in this royalty movement. Finally, it also discusses the reciprocal effects of the reform of the German Copyright Act and the movement.
