Interesting piece, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvioous. The second hook is a bit too plain, and the first says more about the dedicatee than the piece, - could you combine? My take:

ALT2:... that the Septet for trumpet, strings and piano was composed by Camille Saint-Saëns for a mathematician? - Waiting for the qpq also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:01, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gerda, your hook looks good! QPQ is now done. Cheers, intforce (talk) 12:43, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
