 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hook ✅; timescale ✅; length ✅; style ✅. Good little article, Gerda. There were just a couple of statements that I couldn't find references for. One was that the First World War had left a deep impression and that he didn't compose much thereafter. The other was that the word translated 'trumpet' was the Hebrew word 'shofar'. Very minor I know, but if you're able to sources those, it'll be good to go. Gruß. Bermicourt (talk) 08:54, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you! The bio bit (impression) is from the composer's article, where it's sourced offline, the lack of compositions can be seen in his list of works, - in both cases I don't know what to do. The Hebrew shofar is normally translated as trumpet in English (last trumpet) and Posaune (trombone) in German ("am Tag der letzten Posaune"), again don't know. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:00, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Suggest dropping the part about the trumpet. The link to shofar is enough. That article says that there was also a different instrument called a trumpet. Somewhat confusing. Jmar67 (talk) 11:52, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Instead, I cited the King James Version as in Wikisource. It's rather common knowledge, compare Handel's Messiah, "The trumpet shall sound". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * From my own library sources, I'm happy that the English translation of shofar is rendered as "trumpet", so let's tick that off. I'd also be content if you can cite an offline source for the 'bio bit'. Nearly there! Bermicourt (talk) 19:37, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't know the page number of the sources I can't see. - Found many refs for his war experiences, used one, and dropped the half-sentence about not composing much. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Bermicourt, please look again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:18, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
