This image is of a short excerpt from a page from a copyrighted music score. Its inclusion is claimed as fair use because:

it illustrates an educational article that includes a critical examination of the excerpt;
it is a small sample of limited resolution that could not be used as a substitute for the original score; and
it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the product from which it was drawn; however, if the owner of the copyright wishes to challenge this use, I will be happy to remove it promptly, with apology.

Composer: John Cage

Work: Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano (1946-8) - Sonata 15, first bars

Date of publication: 1960
