Fair use for Timpani[edit]

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:

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

This picture is an excerpt of sheet music from a copyrighted musical composition or arrangement. The original composition and/or arrangement may be owned by the credited writers of the song. If an album-only song, it could also be owned by a person or people credited as writer on an album of which the song is included, if not credited on a certain piece of the album. Copyrights can also be assigned to a music publishing company (can be specialized in song rights management or in releasing of sheet music).

Though the music may not be free, it is considered that the purpose of a limited number of sheet music excerpts

for critical commentary on the composition of a song or other music in question, on a music theory topic demonstrated in the excerpt for which there is no free alternative to demonstrate the topic, or 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 the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
