Weird sentence[edit]

The piece is dedicated to Audrey Alston (Mrs Lincolne Sutton), her alto's professor during his childhood.

What on earth is "her alto's professor"? Whose alto's professor? Help. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 10:16, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alto is the French term for viola. According to this webpage Audrey Alston was Britten's viola teacher. So I guess whoever wrote this got his/her grammar and languages mixed up. I have changed the sentence accordingly. Regards. --Francesco Malipiero (talk) 20:33, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Barwick Green[edit]

Are we contending here that Britten deliberately appropriated this theme? If not then the passage in the article needs to be dropped. Many themes in music are reminiscent of others. That isn’t news we have to report. ~~ TheScotch (talk) 15:19, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
