File:Cantus-Arcticus First-seven-bars.PNG

This non-free media file has been set up with as small a version as possible, to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. The current resolution has been manually selected to achieve as small an image as possible without destroying the image content. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of non-free work should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work.

	This picture is an excerpt of sheet music from a copyrighted musical composition or arrangement. The original composition and/or arrangement may be owned by the credited writers of the song. If an album-only song, it could also be owned by a person or people credited as writer on an album of which the song is included, if not credited on a certain piece of the album. Copyrights can also be assigned to a music publishing company (can be specialized in song rights management or in releasing of sheet music). Though the music may not be free, it is considered that the purpose of a limited number of sheet music excerpts for critical commentary on the composition of a song or other music in question, on a music theory topic demonstrated in the excerpt for which there is no free alternative to demonstrate the topic, or on an aspect of music performance demonstrated in the excerpt for which there is no free alternative, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

The image is clipped from the upper part of the third page of this source, which is a "promotional copy" of the sheet music for the Cantus Arcticus concerto by Einojuhani Rautavaara.

This source is linked from a page on the site of Music Finland. Music Finland is the national association of the Finnish music industry – musicians, composers, producers, recording & production companies, copyright managers, etc.). The page concerned  – in Finnish – is here (scroll to the bottom for "PDF for promotional use" link to the work).

Proportion: The image shows the first seven bars of the first movement of a three-movement musical work. The work has 1,972 bars, so this represents 0.35% of the whole. In terms of pages of sheet music, the score has 44 pages, and the first seven bars occupy about a fifth of a page, so on that basis, the image represents 0.45% of the whole.

Competition with copyright holder's usage: Absent — no revelations, and the part does not prefigure or encapsulate the whole.

The resolution is slightly reduced, as this is a clip of a pdf of the original.

The image will be infobox art and illustrate the topic of the Cantus Arcticus article (under development from the current stub – see Talk page).

A text description is less adequate than text in conveying music. There is no "free" version of this sheet music.
