Der Handschuh (Waterhouse)[edit]

(

)

... that the composition by Graham Waterhouse Der Handschuh (The Glove) for cello and speaking voice, after Schiller's ballad Der Handschuh, is designed for one performer?

Everything checks out, and AGF on the German. One thing though. The article is mostly based on a self-published source, the composer's website [1] (I think). Since I'm not seeing anything potentially controversial info in the article, I think that's ok, but it could use some more secondary sources. There's also a long-ish direct quote in the "Plot and composition" which should be paraphrased. If it is paraphrased and nobody else has a problem with the major source being SP then I'll tick this off. Volunteer Marek 15:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for looking! The time of composition can only be sourced by the composer, nobody else knows. Secondary sources could be found for premieres and publications. I regard the quotation as kind of an illustration of his approach to the work, such as if you write on a painting, you like to add the picture of a painting. - I have no more time today, but likely tomorrow, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:01, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
