This image is of a page from a copyrighted music score. Its inclusion is claimed as fair use because:

• it illustrates an educational article that includes a critical examination of the excerpt;
• Furthermore, the excerpt is complex, and presentation of it in an appropriate form (musical notation)

aids explanation in a manner which would be harder to do in a purely textual manner.

• it is a small sample of limited resolution that could not be used as a substitute for the original score,

The portion shown also represents a limited section of a much larger score.

and

• it is not replaceable with an un-copyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value, because any comparable image would also derive from the copyrighted work shown, and use of an alternative score would be obviously inappropriate.

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 product from which it was drawn; however, if the owner of the copyright wishes to challenge this use, I will be happy to remove it promptly, with apology.
