as it stands, no from me. Firstly it's grammatically clunky (we'd say "a professor for three decades" not the other way round, and we have "organ" repeated), but secondly, and here's the clincher, there's a redlink in the hook, we don't do that. A quick look at the article reveals that he was somewhat of a prodigy, playing church services aged nine, that could be interesting to a general audience (it has to be said that even if the current hook is grammatically and no-redlinked, it's still not particularly appealing to a broad audience). So, if you could conjure up an alt blurb which was something along the lines of "...that Hatto Ständer, who was professor of music at the Technical University of Dortmund, played organ at his church at aged nine?" or similar? I'll do a quick once-over for minor issues in the article, but sorry, the current hook fails I'm afraid. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:23, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- Did you see my comment about the red link. I wasn't sure I'd get to a computer again today, so had to nominate. Make the first organ church music. - I won't go for a sensational age nine thing which he has in common with other early mature people. - When I google for his name to find more refs I find all these pupils who mention that he was their teacher. I'll look into his compositions, He's quite unusual in filling several red links here for compositions. Patience please. I'll go and write that church article now. - How about "died over the conceot for the organ for the Konzerthaus Dortmund"? The place where Cecilia Bartoli sang her first Norma. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:05, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
