  • Comment: This does not satisfy GNG notability, as most of the sources cited are primary, and none of the few secondary ones provide significant coverage of the person. However, I believe this does satisfy WP:COMPOSER notability, on account of the number of works performed by several notable orchestras, etc., and therefore to be within Wikipedia's notability criteria, at least in spirit if not strictly speaking letter. Anyone who feels otherwise is always welcome to challenge notability after publication. DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:39, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
