Yes, let's hope so. To me this reads like a statement of fact. Or, at worst, a non-contentious musicological opinion. But the fact that it's copied (without quote marks) from a fully cited book, by respected author Tony Russell, (even with a page number), means suddenly copyvio alert!! and leaves an orphaned ref. 00:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC) p.s.
