Substantial article on good sourcs, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - I think the original hook is cute, but not for such a giant. I'd talk about the dedications by Dupré and Viernes, and if not in a hook then at least in the lead. I linked to a piece and promise to improve the article ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:18, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
