Two questions[edit]

Although this is a very well-written and helpful article, and although it seems never to have been flagged, it appears that nearly all of the article is unsourced and original. The third paragraph, Hoddinott was prolific ... [etc] ... can perhaps best be described as a "modernist romantic" certainly sounds like original research and criticism. Are there no published sources that could be quoted? Or perhaps this discussion merely needs to be footnoted.

I wonder also about the forms sonataa and concertoa which appear to have been deliberately spelled this way.

In the absence of any response, I have taken the initiative. Milkunderwood (talk) 08:43, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And User:MistyMorn has fixed the citation problem - thanks. Milkunderwood (talk) 10:23, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

posthumous honours[edit]

If Alun Hoddinott died on 11 March 2008, how did Queen Elizabeth II manage to present him with a medal on 22 January 2009 at the opening of the Millenium Centre? Either incontrovertible proof that there are ghosts - or an inexcusable error of fact! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedant6 (talk • contribs) 10:22, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As your topic header suggests, honours are sometimes bestowed posthumously, but if this is the case here, the suggestion that Hoddinott received the medal personally must be erroneous. Either that, or the date is incorrect. I have flagged the statement, asking for a reference and a clarification. Thanks for bringing this up.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 23:02, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
