Hi Yakikaki, review follows: article created 25 May; article exceeds minimum length; no unavoidable overly close paraphrasing noticed; sources used look to be reliable; hook is interesting enough for me and is mentioned in the article; hook quote and fact check out to the source cited; a QPQ has been done. I've reworded a bit of the article but there's some peculiarities of wording (eg "During a first period of composition", " As a professional, he was widely regarded with understanding and appreciation") and repetition ("in his life" or variants is used a lot) that you may want to look at. I think the grammar is good enough to pass, though - Dumelow (talk) 17:39, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
