Das Nusch-Nuschi edit

Hindemith in 1923
Hindemith in 1923
  • ... that in the opera Das Nusch-Nuschi, Paul Hindemith (pictured) parodies Reger's style in a grotesque fugue to which two eunuchs dance (or wobble) with fat naked bellies? Source: [1]
  • Reviewed: Azande witchcraft
  • Comment: If only we had room for the whole quote, or at least "It is essential that this piece be danced (or rather wobbled to) by two eunuchs with incredibly fat and naked bellies."

ALT1: ... that Paul Hindemith said of his opera Das Nusch-Nuschi "it is essential that this piece be danced (or rather wobbled to) by two eunuchs with incredibly fat and naked bellies"?
Nice approach but he didn't say it about the opera but only about its Third Dance, the parody of Reger. Try again, I like the idea (although he spoke German of course)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:25, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
We could try this, perhaps:
ALT2 ... that Paul Hindemith (pictured) said of the third dance of his opera Das Nusch-Nuschi "it is essential that this piece be danced (or rather wobbled to) by two eunuchs with incredibly fat and naked bellies"?
Still comes in within the 200 char limit, just about. Sorry I left it so long to come back: time passes quickly! Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 17:33, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Starting to review Zeete (talk) 11:57, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
  • struck initial hook, added pictured to ALT2
  • Expanded 5x checked, long enough, within policy, Earwig reported possible, but just quotation cited, ALT2 hook length 194 ((pictured) is not included), interesting, cited, QPQ started but not finished, image checked.
  • Does the review of Azande witchcraft need to be completed first? Thanks, Zeete (talk) 12:35, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
I guess I'll just do another one, - I feel I can't do a review with no access to any source, which I requested. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:45, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
