[edit] G D Madge
What is meant by "tried to play it through"? Did he complete the work or not? Either he completed it, which makes it a performance, or he did not, in which case we shouldn't mention this at all.
I've removed the POV bit about the recording being said to be heavily improvised. Reference to the score will establish whether it was improvised or not. At the moment, this is in the category of rumour and hearsay. Cheers JackofOz 23:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

- I can comform that Madge is often so untrue to the score that one could say his recording is a fraud.
- If it was a fraud, why didn't Sorabji say anything? Any statement of the superiority of one performance over another has to be sourced. Otherwise it has to go. Xanthoxyl 19:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've looked around, and there is a long discussion of the issue here (by John Carey) but it can't really be used as a source. Xanthoxyl 20:05, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation of the letter
The citation of the letter in the "Composition" section lacks its reference. I found this article contains exactly the same phrases, but is this the source? Or is it taken from another material? --Aotake 03:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
