[edit] Fair use for Timpani

This sheet music excerpt is being linked here; though it is subject to copyright I (– flamurai (t)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is an excerpt of a longer work;
2. it is used to illustrate an important concept (pedaling) in the timpani performance discussed in the article;
3. it is one of the most frequently requested pieces on timpani auditions;[1]
4. this concept was developed in the 20th century, so there are no recognizable free alternatives that sufficiently demonstrate the concept;
5. the work is under copyright, so a free alternative is not available

This is an image of sheet music from a copyrighted musical composition. It is believed that the use of a limited number of sheet music excerpts for critical commentary on the composition in question, or for critical commentary on a music theory topic demonstrated in the excerpt for which there is no free alternative, or for critical commentary on an aspect of music performance demonstrated in the excerpt for which there is no free alternative on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
