Fair use rationale for article Yanni

 * This a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * it illustrates an educational article that includes a historical and critical examination of the excerpt;
 * it is a 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 an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value;
 * it is of a lower quality than the original recording (64 kbit/s); 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.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn; however, if the owner of the copyright wishes to challenge my use, I will be happy to remove it promptly, with apology. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 05:00, 15 January 2014 (UTC) }}
