[Dixielandjazz] Quoted passages in songs - Infringement?

[PHIL WILKING]

One of the tunes on Peter Schickele's first P.D.Q. Bach record (Vanguard 
Records, the one with the orange jacket front) was the "Quodlibet." It was 
two to four very recognizeable bars each of a whole library of big band 
standards strung together into one symphonic joke. This was produced 40 
years ago, but the royalty for each tune couldn't have been very much or 
they couldn't have afforded to use the track on the record.
