Decision in favour of claimants, backed by Ravel’s estate, would put Bolero back under copyright until 2039

Ravel’s estate supports the claim that it was a “collaborative work” with the Russian set dresser, not least because it would start receiving copyright payments again. The claimants point to various documents that name Benois as a co-author of the music.
