This image contains two bars from a copyrighted music score (the remainder is uncopyrighted). Its inclusion is claimed as fair use because:

• it illustrates an educational article that includes a critical examination of the excerpt;
• it is a small sample of limited resolution that could not be used as a substitute for the original score; and
• it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.

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.
