A melody has rhythm and emphasis; it's not just a permutation of a group of notes.

Emphasis is regarded as an interpretation of the notes. Interpretation doesn't invalidate the claims of the original author according how copyright is currently applied.

It's like interpreting Shakespeare. You can emphasis this sentence over that one, and this word over that one. It is still Shakespeare.
