Tadeusz Szeligowski edit
( Back to T:TDYK • Article history )
- ... that Tadeusz Szeligowski (pictured) complemented his studies in music in the years 1929-1931 in Paris, studying composition with Nadia Boulanger and orchestration with Paul Dukas?

- Article is basically fine--long enough, decently sourced, etc. But I have issues--sorry. I made a few minor copy edits to the article, but more needs to be done. For instance, the facts in the "As a music writer" aren't really verified in the given source: I don't see COPSA mentioned in the source, for instance. There's another problem: the article wavers between close paraphrase and direct quotation. In the paragraph mentioned, "high level presentations" is a direct quote from the source (and both are incorrectly hyphenated, I might add), and it's the same in the "Musical education" section, with "He met there leading European composers" (source) and "There he met many of the leading composers" (article). None of them are really egregious, but first of all, a kind of wooden prose is exported from the source to the article, and second, the paraphrases are so close as to be a bit too close, for my taste.
Other issues: all the awards need to be verified individually (and what is "II Composers' Competition"? "Il"? "Second", in Roman numerals?) In "Compositions", there are titles with wikilinks in them, which strikes me as unelegant (don't know what the MoS has to say on the topic). Finally, there's a long list of pupils, which lacks punctuation, and contains way too many red links for my taste. Drmies (talk) 03:13, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
