A compulsory license includes the privilege of making a musical
arrangement of the work to the extent necessary to conform it
to the style or manner of interpretation of the performance
involved, but the arrangement shall not change the basic melody
or fundamental character of the work, and shall not be subject
to protection as a derivative work under this title, except
with the express consent of the copyright owner.
17 U.S.C 115(a)(2).
