Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	This an excerpt from the Beatles' recording of "Penny Lane" featuring a piccolo trumpet solo.
Author or copyright owner	Universal Music Group
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	compact disc
Date of publication	1967
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Penny Lane
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This sound sample will allow the reader to hear the song's piccolo trumpet solo, played by classical musician David Mason, for which there is a dedicated subsection in the article. The critical commentary in the text supports that the piccolo trumpet solo is a highly significant part of the recording. The solo is identified as "unmistakably a part of 'Penny Lane'" and the recording's "pièce de résistance" by author Mark Hertsgaard, who likens it to a "bird taking wing at dawn" bringing a "sense of freedom, energy, and sheer happiness". The article also quotes author Jonathan Gould, who says the solo represents a "neo-Baroque pastiche of every fanfare ever blown" and casts a magical spell that allows the Beatles to insert the risqué line "Four of fish and finger pies" into the chorus that follows. Writing for The Guardian in 2011, classical music scholar Barry Millington described it as "surreal, unearthly ... a fusion of classical and rock" and commented that "so high does the part go", it was mistakenly assumed to have been sped up after recording. Geoff Emerick, the London-based recording engineer who worked on the track, is quoted as saying that the high E note played by Mason was previously considered unreachable by trumpet players, but became expected of them as a result of "Penny Lane". In addition, in the article's Reception section, mention is made of the single initiating a surge in critical acclaim and recognition of pop music as a genuine art form from American music critics and commentators. Among these, in his 1967 TV program Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution, Leonard Bernstein highlighted the trumpet solo as one of four examples of the genre's eclectic qualities that made contemporary pop music worthy of recognition as art.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The original recording is needed to demonstrate the context of the solo, as it was written during the recording session and added to a track that the Beatles had developed over the previous three weeks.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is a short excerpt of a 3:03 recording, containing only the portion under discussion in the dedicated subsection, and will only be used in one article. It is of 22 seconds' duration, and saved at 158 kbps.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	To protect the interests of the copyright holder of the original work, the file is of a reduced quality.
