Fair use in tone cluster

[edit]

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

  • It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses this piece's important role in making the tone cluster part of the lexicon of modern classical music, particularly in an orchestral context, as heard in the sample;
  • It is a low-bit-rate sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording;
  • It is not replaceable with a free-use sample of comparable educational value; and
  • It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
