  • ... that the husband-and-wife piano duo of Bartlett and Robertson (pictured) were said to play like "four hands at a double keyboard controlled by a single mind"?

Created by Yoninah (talk). Self-nominated at 13:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Review Good to go! New article, timely nominated. Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations. It is devoid of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough. Every paragraph is cited. In passing, I note that I had only limited access to those that are "subscription required." Earwig's copy violation detector: Bartlett and Robertson report gives it a clean bill. Both hooks are hooky enough, I think, and relate directly to the essence of the article. They are interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. I prefer the original hook, although I think it should use "were" not "was." QPQ done. Beautiful article, meticulously cited. Well done! 7&6=thirteen () 14:09, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Minor comment The original hook used "was" and refers to a duo. Should that be "were"? I think there is a disagreement between the plural subject "duo" and the singular verb "was". 7&6=thirteen () 14:28, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the great review and your work on the referencing. Yes, "were" sounds better; I changed it. Yoninah (talk) 14:32, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
A picture in the article and the nomination (we would have to insert one) would add greatly to its impact. Not required, of course. 7&6=thirteen () 14:52, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps you mean revised ALT0? Yoninah (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
  • User:Dr. Blofeld has uploaded a clearer image (thanks, Doctor!). I've replaced it in this hook. Yoninah (talk) 11:55, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Image is free, used and clear at 100 pix. 7&6=thirteen () 12:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
