Dmitri Shostakovich in 1925

• ... that Tahiti Trot, an orchestral arrangement by Dmitri Shostakovich (pictured) of "Tea for Two", was the result of a bet? Source: [1]
  • ALT1: ... that Dmitri Shostakovich (pictured) denounced his own Tahiti Trot, an orchestral arrangement of "Tea for Two", as a "political mistake"? Source: [2]
  • ALT2: ... that Tahiti Trot, an arrangement by Dmitri Shostakovich (pictured) of "Tea for Two", was played in Britain by Nicolai Malko to prove that there is no "highbrow" or "lowbrow", but only good music? Source: "I do not care," he says, whether it be the music of a great symphony or the music of a musical comedy so long as it is good. [...] In order to carry out his theory, Mr. Malko is putting in a surprise item to-night in the shape of a symphony composed on the well-known tune, "Tea for two." This composition is by Shostakovitch, a young Russian composer, whom Mr. Malko considers one of the most promising coming composers. [3]

5x expanded by CurryTime7-24 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:42, 1 November 2022 (UTC).

• New enough (5x). Not quite long enough - now 4430, and was 958 or 1000 before 5x expansion started. QPQ not yet done. All paragraphs well cited. The sentence with the ALT1 hook fact needs a cite, not just the whole paragraph. Earwig and spot-checking found no close paraphrasing, copyright violations or plagiarism issues. NPOV throughout. For ALT2, neither "highbrow" nor "lowbrow" appear in the source or in the article itself. Anyway, I prefer ALT0 and ALT1. The piece itself is quite charming, and at under 4 minutes, well worth a listen - I recommend the Barenboim 1997 version from the Berlin Staatsoper (available on YouTube).

  I added a little more to the article since you reviewed it. If it still needs to be lengthened, let me know! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:10, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

  • @Edwardx: let me know if everything looks OK or if further work is needed. Thanks! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 20:00, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
    • 5013 now, so certainly long enough. QPQ done. The ALT2 issue remains, so I am striking it. In any event, I prefer ALT0 and ALT1. Edwardx (talk) 22:16, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
