The same reason WAR AND PEACE and Beethoven's ODE TO JOY are speech and
the boat isn't.

The lyrics in the Ode to Joy were definitely "speech" but Schiller's
not Beethoven's. )albeit Beethoven admired Schiller)

A musical performance, with lyrics or as an instrumental, is speech
under United States law. Publishing the sheet music is press.

Speech is more than just words.

You don't say...

Ah but is it YOUR speech or somebody else's? (Which was the point I
was making concerning who wrote the words to the Ode to Joy - which
I've listened to numerous times as I'm a huge fan of the 9th)
