 * The song has previously been published.
 * The sample meets general Wikipedia content requirements.
 * The sample contributes significantly to the article by identifying Hornsby's most well-known work and by illustrating discussion of the work.

Rationale of fair use in the article Steinway & Sons
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * It is used in an article (in the article's section named "Music") about the piano manufacturer named Steinway & Sons. The grand piano used in this recording is made by Steinway & Sons and the person (Bruce Hornsby) playing is a so-called Steinway Artist.
 * It is a sample of no more than 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
 * It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
 * It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * 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.
 * The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should be used in place of this audio sample.
