Article length, date and neutrality are good. No copyvio problems. Referencing is almost there, but we need a citation in the "Editor" section. Hook is okay but I would like to suggest a more streamlined version: see ALT2. QPQ is not complete. Binksternet (talk) 01:27, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2: ...that cellist Rudolf Hindemith used a pseudonym to avoid comparisons to his more successful brother Paul?
Thank you for review and offer, but sorry, I decline. It would promote again that Rudolf was not as successful as his brother, and that being the only thing said about him. Not even that he was a composer. The two didn't compete in cello playing. Isn't it quirky enough that his opera was performed in the 1950s, and the piano concerto in 2001? - Will do th qpq later today, just beginning my day, - next a round of thanks. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:42, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
