[edit] Philip Legge

I am a musician and information technology worker living in Melbourne, Australia, and an infrequent contributor to Wikipedia, the reason being that I invest most of my time editing musical works, many of which are freely available at Choral Public Domain Library, and have an interest in many diverse musical subjects. I tend only to step in to edit pages when they contain outrageously incorrect information!

• Havergal Brian

• I am the principal author of the Wikipedia article on Brian's most notable work, the Gothic Symphony, arguably the largest choral-orchestral composition in the history of Western art music. I am one of the team of proof-readers and editors of the UK-based Havergal Brian Society's Scores Sub-Committee, which is currently typesetting this work, amongst others; I am the principal editor of Brian's Seventh Symphony, which is mercifully written for a much smaller orchestra!

Other articles I occasionally keep an eye on:

• Requiem masses, e.g.

• the requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as it is notoriously surrounded by misinformation as well as outright myth.

• Hector Berlioz

• Antoine Brumel

• Gustav Mahler

• the unfinished Tenth Symphony in F sharp minor.

Non-music related:

• Tall structures
• Melbourne
• the IAU's new planet definition
  • Interesting large TNOs, mostly discovered since 2000: Pluto, Charon, Varuna, Ixion, Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, 2003 EL₆₁, Eris (formerly designated 2003 UB₃₁₃), 2005 FY₉
• Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting prolific batsmen (cricket)
• Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, possibly the most beautifully typeset book ever printed?
