    • Comment: This conductor's birthday - as I noticed when looking at the references - is on 4 March, therefore I believe that a DYK on that day would be a nice gesture. His contemporary achievements are perhaps more unique, but this great piece is also rarely played. The original title is in French, but it was given in a new German version, and the German title is closer to The Bandits, - a title that is interesting, I think.

Overall: Thank you for this useful article about a conductor. Just one issue, which will be easily dealt with:

  • The article is all sourced except for the sentence "At other houses ... among others". Please find a citation or remove the sentence.
  • I have given the article a very minor copyedit; that does not affect DYK. Storye book (talk) 10:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. The article was originally translated from German. I hope to find a ref, but it wasn't as simple as using the next one following ;= - I commented it out until I find one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Good to go with ALT 0, 1 or 2. I personally like ALT2 because it emphasizes the 11 tenors, which are as rare as hen's teeth in my country, so wow. Request 4 March, because it is the subject's birthday. Storye book (talk) 12:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. The 11 tenors are also in ALT0. The house was very proud that 9 of the 11 were ensemble members, including the lead, Gerard Schneider, who deserves an article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:27, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
