I've listed this article for peer review because I want to get some outside opinions before attempting a GA nomination. There are no new sources available on this topic, though I did not extract every piece of content possible from what I have. I am wondering how many scores I should screenshot and upload to the page, whether I should create audio of all the pieces (since everything is public domain), etc. Suggestions welcome.

The scores would be a great addition to the article, but at the moment there's not a great place to put them though. My suggestion would be removing the notes column of the table and turning said notes into literal ones like you did with the DR Congo note at Carillon (instead of using the 'note #' function, you could possibly just do 'n #' like at Hector Berlioz to reduce the space it would take up here). If the column is removed you could put the score images alongside it, like what is done with composer pictures at Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition. Presumably you would choose the better known pieces, maybe ~10 ish?
Audio, as you mention, of one or two might be nice as well, possibly in the Significance section, since there is a little space there.
Your first two sentences could use a little work, specifically, I think you should mention first how this is a book of carillon sheet music, and then in the second line (or third) include the Antwerp origin detail
"provides a glimpse into the music of the 18th century"—provides a 'rare glimpse', maybe? Otherwise the statement is a bit obvious
I would definitely include some composers' names in the lead, and note that most of the pieces are by anonymous/unknown person(s)
You might include the detail that Antwerp is in Belgium for both the lead and history sections, as its not as famous as London, Paris, Berlin etc.
Are we sure 'De Gruytters' should have a capitalized 'de' when his name does not begin the sentence?
Looks pretty good otherwise, though I do wonder why Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach is in the see also? Aza24 (talk) 00:22, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
