Interesting ensemble, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I am not enthusiastic about the hooks, because both are what one reviewer says. I'd like a little more in the article, especially links to the specific pieces rather than the composers, and perhaps a bit more lead? Perhaps years for the recordings? - Please avoid "current" shich will still be there in five years, if nobody updates. It would be better to reference to Fanfare directly (at least additionally), not the quartet's website. - And then perhaps say something more factual in the hook, with a short quote? - How do you feel about an infobox, compare Arditti Quartet? Also waiting for qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:47, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- Honestly, I like the hooks; these are two major news organizations, so their words might be meaningful to someone who has never heard of the ensemble before. But maybe I could propose a hook about their winning of Grand Prize in the 1994 Fischoff Competition, although I am not sure if that would arouse readers.... also, I have removed "current". The infobox is a great idea, and I will add when I have the chance. Zingarese talk · contribs 04:58, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
Understand. I prefer the ALT, with more precision about WHAT makes their playing the greatest. - Compare Arditti for a box model, perhaps. Expansion about what they play would add to all these rave reviews. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:31, 9 March 2019 (UTC)- Reading the original again, I also don't like the repetition, - let's take the other please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
