Paragraphing
Very nice. Thanks for the contribution.

My only comment is that it seems a lot like a standalone essay. I think this is mostly because of the paragraph breaks: it feels like a lot of words for only 3 paragraphs, for a Wikipedia article.

I don't want to make it sound like I think you should butcher your article, but shorter paragraphs and a 2-3 sentence overview would make this seem a lot more approachable (to me, anyway) than immediately diving into 20 lines of solid text. And I don't want to turn people off, because it is well written.

It's not hard to find, but a link to http://www.hans-rott.de/ might be nice. (They even have clips of some performance of his works.) (Anybody have any other pages worth linking to?)


 * Well, you know, you could always make those changes yourself - you know where the "edit this page" link is, right? ;)


 * For now, I'll put in that external link you suggest and have a go at a brief intro before we get into the bio. Any other work on the article would be gratefully received, I'm sure. --Camembert


 * Well, I'm not really a writer. I just try to give good suggestions.  :-)
 * It looks great now. (That's a better intro than I probably would have written.)


 * The first draft of this article was one of my earliest contributions to Wikipedia, when I didn't quite know Wikipedia's conventions. So I appreciate others taking the time to copy-edit this article according to the conventions of Wikipedia. Del arte 00:11, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

File:Hans Rott nella sua unica fotografia conosciuta.jpg Nominated for Deletion
This photo was deleted from Wikimedia Commons (correctly, in my view), but there would seem to be a prima facie case for Fair Use as the only known photograph of the deceased subject of a biography. I do not have access to the source. Davidships (talk) 15:36, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

References to Brahms's first symphony
I wanted to add a citation for the above:

http://kennethwoods.net/blog1/2010/02/12/performers-perspective-mahler-3-a-lost-friend/

but noticed that the editor who added the "citation needed" also added a comment:

" And if all that is meant here is the fleeting similarity to a few notes from the tune of Brahms's finale, then the observation is *garbage* "

The cited page contains a link to a brief excerpt of Rott's symphony and the reference seems unmistakable to my uneducated ears. If the editor is around, could he please comment?
