This needs a lot of work - I am going to come back to this one when I get some time. Mark Richards 16:03, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

Friday the 13th of May, 2005. He was 15 when he entered the Royal Academy.  !7:48Z

He's really more of a 19th century composer than a 20th century composer, both in date and in compositional style/technique. I'd suggest changing that at the top of this page and the top of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge page. --Ted.

Done- changed it to late 19th which is (I think) a good compromise. Mahler (for example) lived into the 20th C. but was a 19th C composer. Coleridge-Taylor lived into the 20th but his fine 1912 violin concerto shows no obvious 20th C influences. Saxophobia 19:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

No reason was given here for clean up tag. There's a citation needed tag, that remains in place as I don't know a citation to provide, and a corresponding category remains. Del arte 22:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe that it is impossible for a white person to be the parent of a black person. The article contains that common flaw which is in numerous articles in Wikipedia: white people being the parents of "black" children.Velocicaptor 04:46, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Well Velocicaptor has subsequently been removed as a sock-puppeteer. However, on this point, should Coleridge Taylor be described as mixed race? Indisciplined 00:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
