New enough (squeaks in at 7 days). Long enough (2400 chars). Article written in neutral fashion, BLP not unduly focused on negative characteristics (or positive, for that matter.) The article uses inline citations throughout. No paraphrasing or other copyvio detected (only close match was for a quote.) Regarding hook, character count at 191 just squeaks under 200 limit, meets formatting guidelines. There's an issue with the first claim, regarding Gurre-Lieder. There's no citation directly after this sentence, which would be easily fixed, but the reference I thought I'd easily find it in (Graz Opera, ref#1) doesn't seem to mention the work at all. I know my German is pathetic, but I really don't see it. If I'm missing it, can you point it out? Is it in a different reference? The citations for Bruckner's 4th and Jenůfa check out fine. (by the way, AllMusic isn't in German, so that note should be removed.) The hook is otherwise a plethora of information. The image is free and is used in the article. It displays ok at small size, but perhaps its a bit too detailed. Fix the one issue, and it should be good to go. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 22:26, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- O dear, I forgot that I took date and performers from the picture and needed a better source. Found one (APA, in many papers) for piece, month and year, will search further after sleep. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:28, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- Found a review, - what would "balancierter Klangrausch" be in English? probably not balanced sound ecstasy ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Kind of hard to tell without context. By itself, it appears the closest English can get is "well-balanced cacophony." I've a feeling this isn't what you're looking for.

- Don't want to use it, just learn. Rausch is the state of bliss you feel when intoxicated, by love for example, a better existence ;) Did I fix the issue? To bad we don't have room in the hook to say that one of the concerts was in the town where he was born. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:43, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

- Drunk with sonic bliss?
Now we have all claims directly sourced. Problem resolved. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:22, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
