[edit] No verifiable references

The only references given for this article are the subject's own website and the site of the publisher that hopes to sell the subject's works. Indeed, the extensive lists of works in the article appear to be little more than a catalogue of works offered for sale by this publisher. The article may thus violate Wikipedia's policies against promotion of commercial websites. -- Ssilvers 16:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I looked him up at ASCAP (nothing there) and at BMI and got this : [1] so it looks like most of these works do exist and are registered there. I think that only works that are played are listed at those services, so maybe that would explain why not all of them are there?

There is nothing about him at the US Library of Congress catalog, but there are four entries about him at the French bibliothèque Nationale [2]. The book by Jean-Thierry Boisseau cited as a source also has an entry there : [3]

One of his pieces is in the music library at Brown University [www.rice.edu/fondren/brown/music/newmaterials/ScoresNov03.pdf] and there are works listed at Theodore Front in the US ([4]) who cater to Music Libraries and University Music Schools.

So, it would seem that there are sources out there. Somebody just has to dig to find them. I don't see this as being a hoax, though Gretab 17:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
