General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Hello Spiderpig662, happy to review this nomination. The article was expanded over fivefold today. It has a readable prose size of 2314 characters. Every paragraph in the body of the article has a source. The article does not use promotional or overly negative language. WP:EARWIG detects no copyvios. The hooks are cited and interesting. My preference is ALT0. QPQ was done.

A few more observations:

  • She was also piano and singing pedagogue add "a" before "piano"
  • Both of the ballets became one of her most popular creations sigular-plural mismatch. maybe instead: Both ballets are among her most popular creations
  • Another one of popular works was add "her" before "popular"; the last sentence already uses the word "popular", so maybe use another term here for variation
  • Brock composed an opera replace "Brock" with "Bock" Phlsph7 (talk) 10:16, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
