  • Comment: The article's sources are still insufficient. The link to the club newsletter still does not count as significant coverage, and all other sources are to generic website landing pages that do not mention Stenz at all and therefore do not verify the content which they cite.

  • Comment: No evidence of significant coverage. The first link is just a Discogs page; that's not an independent source showing significant coverage. The second link is to a newspaper article apparently taken from a Vereinszeitung (a club magazine or newsletter). The third link is just a (broken) link to the web archive of the second line. This will need much better sourcing. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Early Life and Education[1][edit]

Music was his hobby, he started learning music after the war. In order to learn to play the piano, he had drawn the keys of the piano on paper and began to practice. His parents did not have the necessary money to buy him a piano at that time. One day he got a great chance to play on a real piano. He was allowed to practice in the Lehmacher Restaurant every day when the cleaning lady was working there (that was early in the morning before school started). This was a great pleasure for Michael Stenz. This led him to prepare for his visit to the conservatory.

He studied music at the University of Bonn's Conservatory and was a guest student at the Cologne University of Music. After completing his studies, he worked for 15 years as an editor at WDR (which has controversies about The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet) and Deutschlandfunk'. From 1965, he became a freelancer at the WDR.

He was married to Cilly, from Wiedemeyer/Düsseldorf.
