Editing Keith Emerson (section)

==Pieces based on other works==

Emerson occasionally [[Cover version|covered]] or [[Sampling (music)|sampled]] other musical works in his compositions. Permission to use pieces was sometimes denied by the composer or his family; for example [[Gustav Holst]]'s daughter refused to grant official permission for rock bands to perform her late father's composition ''Mars, the Bringer of War''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/artists/gustav-holst/biography/ |title=About Gustav Holst |last1=Eder |first1=Bruce |date=2016 |website=MTV.com |publisher=MTV |access-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314025608/http://www.mtv.com/artists/gustav-holst/biography/ |archive-date=14 March 2016}}</ref> However, a number of composers did grant permission for their works to be used. [[Aaron Copland]] said that there was "something that attracted [him]" about ELP's version of "Fanfare for the Common Man", and so approved its use, although he said, "What they do in the middle (i.e., the modal section between repeats of Copland's theme), I'm not sure exactly how they connect that with my music".<ref name=copland>{{cite AV media |people=[[Aaron Copland]] (Interviewee) |year=2007 |title=From The Beginning (Disc 4, Track 1) |medium=CD Audio recording |language=en  |time=CD |publisher=Castle Music UK  }}</ref> [[Alberto Ginastera]], on the other hand, enthusiastically approved Emerson's electronic realisation of the fourth movement of his first piano concerto, which appeared on their album ''Brain Salad Surgery'' under the title "Toccata". Ginastera said, "You have captured the essence of my music, and no one's ever done that before."<ref name=bachcantatas>{{cite web |url=http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Lib/Ginastera-Alberto.htm |title=Alberto Ginastera (Composer) |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=16 May 2013 |website=bach-cantatas.com |publisher=Bach Cantatas Website |access-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140327172734/http://bach-cantatas.com/Lib/Ginastera-Alberto.htm |archive-date=27 March 2014 }}</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPgTvMZvJOI&t=4075s Emerson discussing his first meeting with Ginastera], at YouTube</ref>
