  • ... that clarinetist Benny Goodman (pictured) was said to enjoy Darius Milhaud's Scaramouche more than his Concerto for Clarinet, which was specifically written for Goodman?Source: James, Matthew (8 August 1997).

Created by Schminnte (talk). Self-nominated at 19:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Scaramouche (Milhaud); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Isn't the original hook saying more about Goodman than the piece? There's no way this image would be used for the Main page as too distant from the topic. - I will review if nobody beats me to it. Too many images, sandwiching the text, that's what I see at a glance ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: nice to hear from you again! If the second hook is suitable to be used, I prefer it anyway. If you could review the hook/have a look at the article I would be appreciative; I would like to keep at least some of the images but it probably requires some rearranging.Schminnte (talk • contribs) 10:05, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Understood. Please link suite in ALT1. I'll look now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:00, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
How is the following: I first comment in the peer review, you make changes or not, and then I approve here? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:38, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: Im fine with that as long as you complete the peer review; I would be hesitant to just use the PR as a way to propose changes (which could be done here) if a full review would not be done. PS. I have wikilinked suite. Schminnte (talk• contribs) 12:03, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you, and yes, promised here. - Please find a way to add something like "to avoid Nazi censorship" to ALT1, mostly because Nazi gives you 1000 extra clicks, but also to explain ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:07, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: I would love some extra clicks. :) Please see the edited hooks below. PS. I will not be able to properly respond to the PR until later tonight. Best, Schminnte (talk • contribs) 13:08, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
  • ALT1b: ... that a 1943 performance of Darius Milhaud's Scaramouche used anagrams to disguise the suite and its composer from Nazi censors?
    Thank you, and I like ALT1b especially. No rush, and I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:22, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
    Interesting piece, detailed on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I prefer ALT1b, enough to strike the others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
