Ferruccio Busoni

 * ... that Falstaff provoked in Ferruccio Busoni (pictured) a "revolution of spirit"?


 * Reviewed: Antidotarium Nicolai
 * Comment: after my recent DYK contribution created minor controversy, this hook is rather more boring, but not I hope uninteresting -Smerus (talk) 10:52, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Smerus (talk). Self-nominated at 10:52, 7 July 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol voting keep.svg My usual wording - interesting bio on excellent sources - doesn't quite justice to the article which I had the pleasure to see grow. Why no image? I added one. - Thank you also for a lovely subtle tribute to the work of Tim riley and Viva-Verdi, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg – I hope I'm putting the right thing in the right place (I don't know my way round DYK very well). Please excuse if not. I support the nomination with enthusiasm, but I think it might be clearer to the casual reader if we said "Verdi's Falstaff" rather than just "Falstaff".  Tim riley  talk    22:31, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * there's an ongoing debate in DYK about whether hooks should be fully informative (and therefore maybe risking being dull and/or ignored) or enigmatic and therefore more likely to catch the reader's attention and make him/her click. I belong to the latter camp and am therefore happy with the hook the way it is, unless there are strong objections. - Smerus (talk) 08:23, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your support, a second approval doesn't hurt, but is not needed. I concur with Smerus that more people will click Falstaff when it doesn't say "Verdi's Falstaff" in which case they may think, "Ah, we know already". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:44, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I retreat docilely to my kennel, still supporting, natch.  Tim riley  talk    17:53, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
