Explanation:

Option 1 can be inferred from , “However far the printed sheet of notated music might travel thus from the composer, it still remains his property.”
Option 3 can be inferred from “A piece of music in the Western tradition, at least in its most characteristic and popular conception, originates in its composer, and the connection between the two, between composer and the piece of music, is relatively unambiguous...”.
Option 4 can be inferred from “The genius in Western classical music is, then, the originator, begetter and owner of his work-the printed, notated sheet testifying to his authority over his product and his power, not only of expression or imagination, but of origination”.
The passage mentions, “The conductor is a custodian and guardian of this property.” This implies that the conductor cannot change or modify the music since he is only a custodian or guardian of this property.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
