 * Symbol question.svg The entry is new, its length is sufficient, and it's properly sourced. Unfortunately the hook lacks all the qualities of a good hook. Even expanded: "A 30-year-old cellist/composer wrote a piece for solo cello and dedicated it to a 65-year-old cellist." Looking through the entry, which is quite modest in length and content, I'm afraid I can't come up with anything else as a hook. Perhaps the nominator could explain what is remarkable about the hook.

 * The 65-year old cellist is one of the very few cellists named as soloists in Cello, "Gaspar Cassadó, Gregor Piatigorsky, Siegfried Palm and Julian Lloyd Webber", and one of two in contemporary "encouraged by soloists who specialized in contemporary music (such as Siegfried Palm and Mstislav Rostropovich) commissioning from and collaborating with composers". The 30-year-old is in exclusive company of others who dedicated to Palm. How can we word that? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
