However, when Page was asked to compare "Stairway" to the "Taurus" sheet music, he said he preferred to hear it. Page, who said he composed the music and Plant wrote the lyrics, said he had not written the sheet music he was shown. To demonstrate the shortcomings of sheet music, though, Malofiy showed Page the copyright version of "Stairway to Heaven." Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page demonstrated a deft touch at deflecting questions aimed at showing he might have lifted a passage for the introduction to the 1971 hit "Stairway to Heaven." "You want to step through it," attorney Francis Malofiy asked as he tried to get Page to discuss the "Taurus" sheet music, which is the work protected by copyright.
