 * Gerda Arendt, please note the following:
 * -- Walter Parviainen is named but not identified. Readers might want to know something about him.
 * -- What is the significance of the Säynätsalo sawmills?
 * -- A space is needed: gotmarried.
 * -- This sentence seems to lack a word or two: "He thought about different composing for the radio, to reflect the imperfections of the loudspeakers." Does this mean that he thought about composing in a different manner for radio audiences because radio transmission distorted what listeners heard?

 * Thank you for good observations. I fixed the missing space and hopefully) the sentence. I would say more about the person if I knew. I don't believe the mills are of significance, but it seems significant that Sibelius obliged to such a request and didn't think it was not worth the effort. I believe he chose strings (only) because they sounded more pleasing with those speakers, but it isn't sourced. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
