General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting article, interesting story. I don't have access to the book source from where the hook is cited, but trust that is correct. This nomination was made before "backlog mode" was enabled, so only the one QPQ is required. I recommend the original hook is trimmed

ALT0...that when Benjamin Britten's An American Overture was rediscovered, he wanted the score destroyed?

This leaves the reader guessing as to the ultimate fate of the work and encourages them to read on. - hahnch e n 23:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
