File:Bartók - Concerto for Orchestra (clip).ogg

0:25 clip from Béla Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra demonstrating timpani pedaling.

Recording: Chandos, 1991, Neeme Järvi, Royal Scottish Orchestra

Fair use for Timpani

This audio clip, Bartók - Concerto for Orchestra (clip).ogg, is being linked here; though the recording 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 the sound of the instruments;
3. it is used to illustrate a concept specifically mentioned in the text (timpani pedaling);
4. a free recording of high enough fidelity and performance quality to appropriately illustrate the sound of the instruments in this work could not be found.

Fair use rationale for Concerto for Orchestra (Bartók) and Béla Bartók

I believe this file is fair use in the article Concerto for Orchestra (Bartók) because it demonstrates the sound of the work, it cannot be sold commercially to violate the original copyrights, and it cannot be replaced with a free version. The same is true for its use in Béla Bartók. Graham87 02:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
