Move to Aldeburgh[edit]

On BBC Radio 3's Composer of the Week programme today, (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio3_aod.shtml?radio3/cotw_thu but only for the next week), Holst herself explained in a recording that Britten invited her to Aldeburgh to assist with the Aldeburgh Festival, and only when she arrived did he ask her to become his amenuensis. As I have not got documentary evidence of this, I hesitate to correct it - does anybody else have? --ColinFine 20:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How can she have left Aldeburgh in 1964 AND stayed there for the rest of her life? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.173.5.196 (talk) 11:28, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Above comments were added before the comprehensive expansion and rewrite of the article in February/March 2014. Brianboulton (talk) 20:11, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Born twice?[edit]

Lede paragraph: "born 12 April 1907".
Birth and family background: "born 14 April 1907".

What's it to be, folks? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:10, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now corrected as per Grogan & Strode. Alfietucker (talk) 19:12, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Musicologist[edit]

As this is a featured article, I figured there might be a reason for it so I'm asking here: Should "musicologist" be under occupation in the infobox? It's in the lead so one would assume so. Also should perhaps the word "occupation" in the infobox be like "parent(s)" and be "occupation(s)"? Aza24 (talk) 20:33, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added "musicologist". I confess to be not a friend of "(s)" especially not for "spouse(s)" if their was only one for life. That would be a question for the infobox template talk. I like the approach of infobox opera, saying "librettist", and when there are two the reader will probably guess right ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
