 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I am not happy with the hooks, sorry. The list of the most famous classical composers is boring, nothing special to her. How about something specifically Brazilian, for example how fond Guardini was of her playing. Or that she was the first for the difficult Rachmaninoff? ALT1 is better than the original but contains no music. - In the article, I replaced the very broad "Classical music" by "Classical period", - Bach however doesn't fall in that category, and never composed for the piano as we know the instrument today. Please find some order in the composers, by their birth date perhaps? - By alphabet is fair but a bit strange, jumping in the history of music ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:09, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I'll try to do something about the list of composers. Regarding the hooks, do you mean:
 * ALT2: ... that Camargo Guarnieri lauded pianist Yara Bernette interpretation of his "Variations on a Theme from the Northeast of Brazil" at the Second Inter-American Music Festival?
 * ALT3: ... that Brazilian classical pianist Yara Bernette was the first to record nearly the complete Preludes op. 23 and op. 32 by Rachmaninoff, "considered one of the most difficult works for piano"? Yoninah (talk) 00:37, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Thank you, will look closer tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd reword or simplify all hooks, not liking ALT 6 so much becaus of the "first":
 * ALT4: ... that at age 75, the Brazilian pianist Yara Bernette recorded a solo album featuring encore pieces?
 * ALT5: ... that the classical pianist Yara Bernette was praised for her interpretation of Variations on a Theme from the Northeast of Brazil by the composer, Camargo Guarnieri?
 * ALT6: ... that the Brazilian pianist Yara Bernette was among the first to record the difficult Preludes by Rachmaninoff? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:22, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * OK. I struck most of the hooks and am OK with ALT5. Yoninah (talk) 19:32, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg that then ;) - Please sort the composers in the lead, - if you have Rachmaninoff after Debussy, it would make more sense. I wonder if Bach should be mentioned at all, - he didn't know the grand piano, - she didn't play the harpsichord he knew, and he was neither Classical nor Romantic. For illa-Lobos, perhaps add the given name, - He's not as well known as the others. - I am not familiar with infobox musical artist, using person for all people. Is there a way to include that she was an academic teacher, even head of department, and where? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * , I fixed the lead and left out Bach per your instructions. I'm not able to find an "Infobox: Professor" to embed in the musical artist infobox. I'm glad that you, with your expertise in music, worked on this nomination. Yoninah (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you. How about infobox person then? Compare Nils Mönkemeyer. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:17, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I gave the idea a try by insertiing "occupation" and using the "plainlist" template. Edit, delete, whatever you want with that. — Maile  (talk) 13:03, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
