  • I fail to find the hook interesting enough. Any alternatives Corachow? I'll finish reviewing the rest soon. VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 15:48, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that both choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and ballerina Wendy Whelan credited working with each other on Polyphonia for helping their careers? Source: "But, it wasn’t, Ms. Whelan said, until she started to work with Mr. Wheeldon on his breakthrough ballet, the 2001 “Polyphonia,” that she began to find herself as a dancer... Mr. Wheeldon said that their encounter during the making of “Polyphonia,” set to Ligeti extracts, had been pivotal to his career." (New York Times)
  • ALT2: ... that the title of the ballet Polyphonia is a reference to micropolyphony, a kind of musical structure developed by composer György Ligeti? Source: "As the title suggests, Ligeti's interest in what he called micropolyphony sets up polyphonic structures for a choreographer, although they are not necessarily heard in these piano pieces." (New York Times)

  • Vincent60030 Here's four ALTs, I might be able to come out a few more. Corachow (talk) 16:06, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Hmm, some information from the lead is missing in the prose section. This shouldn't be difficult to fix.
  • ALT1 doesn't really seem that quirky but it is an improvement. ALT4 is meh as well. I think ALT2 is the best so far.
  • New enough, long enough, no copyvios and within policy. QPQ done. So just left with lead issue to fix. VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 13:41, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
