When I was a composition student, one exercise was to create a music paraphrase of an existing piece (in this case a piece by Schubert), where the piano part was cut and pasted to a new score, to which a new melody was composed to the Little Rose of the Field. Nothing was "stolen" in this case, but rather more cut-up a la Burroughs or Schwitters collage.
