C-Class[edit]

Hi! I have rated this article C-class. I think it would be approaching B-class soon. Does anyone know were we can add a sound file (like the one in Chopin's Nocturne Op.9)? --Edward130603 (talk) 15:47, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lento or Andante sostenuto?[edit]

Hi guys, for No.1, are you sure it is marked Lento? The G. Schirmer edition (edited by Rafael Joseffy) has it as Andante sostenuto.--Edward130603 (talk) 15:55, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, I'm going by my Paderewski edition, so I'm not sure which is the proper one. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR _{talk // contribs} 18:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Schott Music also has it as Andante sostenuto.--Edward130603 (talk) 20:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback from RFF[edit]

The first paragraph of the lede contains the word 'nocturne(s)' eight times; I know that this is difficult to avoid, but with rephrasing that could be reduced somewhat. The lede contains information that is not given elsewhere in the document - e.g. about George Sand. The lede should be a summary of the whole article - this is a GA requirement. "considered to be one of the better nocturnes" - by whom? "are definite signs of "progress"" - quotations must always be followed by an immediate reference (GA requirement) - not at the end of the sentence I don't know much about the specific topic, but I feel that the article could be more 'broad in scope' - another GA requirement. For example, information about significant performances, uses in contemporary music (derivatives?), or other appropriate details. From a very brief search in Google Books, for example, I found info here about copies of a 'proof stage' of the work. Those are some sample specific comments; in working towards GA, I recommend the following course of action; Have a look through this GA 'cheat sheet' for the kind of issues you will need to address; Look at other, similar, featured articles and copy the style. For example, Symphony No. 3 (Górecki). Request a peer review. I wish you the very best of luck. Chzz ► 03:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC) --Edward130603 (talk) 11:20, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
