- ALT1:... that in Jerome Robbins's ballet Fanfare , the dancers represents different instruments? Source: same as above

Interesting ballet on fine sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The think one unique thing about this work is that it was requested for the coronation. We could drop the composer for such a well-known piece, I think. ALT1 is cute but nothing in comparison to ALT2 to come ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: ALT0 without the composer and ALT2 about the coronation.

ALT0a: ... that Jerome Robbins's ballet Fanfare is set to The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra?

ALT2: ~~... that Jerome Robbins's ballet Fanfare was made in celebration of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II?~~

Also, I'm striking ALT1. Corachow (talk) 12:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Those are finer, thank you, and approved, but still don't show what I think is so cute: that this happened in New York. You and I know where he worked, but don't expect the average reader to do so, - perhaps mention the company? ... perhaps in a combination, because I believe the music is nicely British, with Purcell as the grandfather. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an ALT with the company mentioned.

ALT3: ... that Jerome Robbins was commissioned by the New York City Ballet to choreograph the ballet Fanfare in celebration of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II?

I'm not sure who decided to use Young Person's Guide, so I won't include that in the same hook. Corachow (talk) 14:02, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

also approved, and better than ALT2, I think. The music is with me now ;) - and missing a bit in ALT3. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:28, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
