[edit] GA Review

This is good. It certainly passes GA. My only comment is a technical one - the sound samples have to be worked on. They didn't work for me: they triggered a download box rather than playing the sample. If you want to see / hear a possible sound sample scheme and code: check the Good Article Harry and the Potters.

Thanks for the review and your comments! I was using the FA Olivier Messiaen as an example of integrating audio clips within the text. Using the standard way might make the article look a bit clumsy.. I'll see what I can do, but are you sure you've got the right software installed for .ogg playback? The template (Template:Audio) is a standard one and should at least prompt you whether you want to download or open the file right away. Anyway, thanks again for passing the article :) Jashiin (talk) 08:16, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The problem with the audio playback could be entirely at my end. I must admit I'm not up to speed on Wikipedia's multimedia options. I can hear playback audio samples on some articles. The Olivier Messiaen article samples triggers a download box for me. However, I can playback the audio samples for the FA article Symphony No. 3 (Górecki). So there is some sort of difference between the examples. Good luck. I think Sonatas and Interludes could succeed as an FA article:of course, others may disagree :-) Cheers!
