Not Always Right

I am a young but successful composer. I’ve had many commissions from professional ensembles, and my works have been performed nationally and internationally. One of my works was recently premiered at a choral festival, and I was in the audience for the performance. After the concert, many conductors came up to me asking if their ensembles could perform the piece as well. I gave them my contact information, and that was that.
When I checked my email later that day, I had a new message from one of the directors.
Client: “Hello! We met earlier. I’m contacting you to ask about getting copies of the music for your piece.”
Me: “Absolutely! How many copies do you need?”
Client: “I’ll need fifty copies of the music.”
Me: “Okay. That will be $3.50 a copy for a total of $175.”
It was a few days before I heard back from him.
Client: “We’ll be performing your work. I figured the publicity would be payment enough for a young composer. It’s really a good opportunity for you.”
Me: “I’m sorry, but I simply cannot give you the music without payment.”
Client: “That’s unfortunate. I really want my choir to perform your composition!”
Me: “I’d be happy to sell you fifty copies of it for $175!”
He never responded. However, four other directors contacted me and purchased the music for their ensembles, and I received commissions from a few more for new pieces. I suppose I didn’t need his “opportunity” after all.
