Classical music: Compositions | |||||||

I am loth to just pile in and start editing this when it is brand new and all NB's work, but I would quite like to remove the word "remarkably" as I don't think the encyclopaedia should comment in its own voice on what is remarkable, happy, sad, unfortunate, ironical etc etc – we should just state the facts and let people draw their own conclusion – and yes of course it is remarkable! I just don't think we can say so without an RS who does. "Not in my name" and all that. MOS:OPED and MOS:NOTED I think apply. Happy Boxing Day! Cheers DBaK ( talk) 10:07, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
I have expanded the "History" section per this request at WikiProject Classical Music. The new references I've added can be used to expand the "Critical reception" section, if anyone wants to. Additionally, the McVeagh source (Gerald Finzi: His Life and Music) has quotes from press reviews of the work's premiere in 1923. There is also a review of the published score in The Musical Times from 1926:
G. G. (1 June 1926). "New Music". The Musical Times, Vol. 67, No. 1000, p. 523 (subscription required)
