  • ... that A. T. Mahmud eventually wrote up to 500 songs after being asked to help his students?

  • Looks good, but the hook isn't very informative. Suggest ALT1: ... that Indonesia's A. T. Mahmud has been described as a legendary composer of children's songs? Gatoclass (talk) 13:18, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not bad, but how about "... that Indonesia's A. T. Mahmud, writer of around 500 children's songs, has been described as a legendary composer?"
"Around" could theoretically be eliminated too. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:45, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3: - that "legendary" Indonesian composer A. T. Mahmud wrote around 500 children's songs? It's more concise than the other hooks and contains the same or more info. I retained "around" however because the source says "about". Gatoclass (talk) 13:42, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
