Verified; but pinging @Gerda Arendt: regarding one sentence I'm unclear about. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:52, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! Which sentence? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:57, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Discussed at Gerda's talk page. I have tweaked the sentence in question. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:13, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Coming to promote this, I thought the first hook unsatisfactory because the article does not state that Reger was a student at the time, and the work being published in London seems uninteresting. The link to the article in the second hook is contained within the quotation, and this is frowned on, so could the hook be rewritten to correct this? Incidentally, I found the other quote by the reviewer more interesting. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Why would you think that the composer's student published at all, and then in a different country, was not interesting? I will source being a student, - keep forgetting that not everybody knows that ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:15, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Replacing the tick for the original hook after the point I raised had been dealt with. Striking ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:47, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
