Article	John Cage
Portion used	39 seconds, less than 10% of the recording.
Low resolution?	Yes (OGG Vorbis quality setting 1 (low))
Purpose of use	The recording is used to illustrate (a) John Cage's playing style in his indeterminate pieces, and (b) the composer's recording of this particular work (Cheap Imitation), one of the very few recordings of John Cage performing his own works.
Replaceable?	There is no free equivalent of a recording of John Cage performing, so the recording cannot be replaced by a free recording.
