... that Helmut Lachenmann(pictured) composed Sakura-Variationen for a children's concert, a trio for saxophone, piano and percussion, based on a Japanese song about the cherry blossom? Sources: several
Overall: new enough, long enough, no apparent copyvio. Technically the source doesn't name the Japanese folk song, but the song title is obvious. Anyone would think you have done this before. Find bruce (talk) 22:56, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
Just to say, hook is not very 'hooky' because of the assorted non-key info it contains - also ' about the cherry blossom' is not quite idiomatic English - why not just
My personal feeling is that this is neater, I'm not strenuously objecting. Best, Smerus (talk) 11:13, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for offering, - neater - no doubt, but why drop the rather unusual scoring, and the children, which probably made him write a rather accessible piece for a change. Hosokawa also used the cherry blossom song, probably others as well, - I always try to say something unique for the person. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

fine with me --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:54, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
Thank you. Restoring tick for ALT0a, which contains one verified and one foreign-language AGF ref, both cited inline. Note to Find bruce: If all the hook facts aren't verified, please do not approve the hook. In this case, however, the "Japanese folk song" is clearly cited in the title of footnote 1. ALT0a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:59, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
