  • Article was new enough at time of nomination, however, Xtools gives me 1354 characters, so it's not quite long enough. I would ideally like to see more sources as well, as one source is inaccessible to me and one source only mentions the piece in passing. Obviously also still needs QPQ. The image is fine and nice addition, and I like the hook. However, I would make clear that 'Lübecker Totentanz' refers to a painting. Achaea (talk) 21:47, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that the 1934 choral composition Totentanz (Danse Macabre) by Hugo Distler was inspired by the medieval painting Lübecker Totentanz (partly pictured)?
Thank you for looking, and yes, I'll expand further. (Just returned from vacation.) ALT1 is fine if the pic is not taken, but otherwise something people can see. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
ALT2: ... that the 1934 choral composition Totentanz (Danse Macabre) by Hugo Distler combines motets with spoken dialogue between Death and victims, and recorder solo music?
I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Still Feel, Achaea. Lübecker Totentanz was both the title of a paintng and of the poem which became part of the lyrics. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:51, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Gerda Arendt Great, article is now long enough, QPQ has been done, happy with ALT1 if the picture is included, prefer ALT2 if picture is not included. Achaea (talk) 10:14, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
