Fair use in tone cluster
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 as an important example of ensemble string playing of tone cluster glissandi, as heard in the sample;
 * It is a low-bit-rate sample of less than 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.
