[edit] Year of birth

Cobbett Cyclopedia has 1882, as do several other sources. Schissel | Sound the Note! 20:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

As conductor - conducted moderately well-regarded orchestras for substantial lengths of time. As composer - his music is performed seems to be performed still, not often though not as rarely as that of some others, either (searching for example on several variants on his name; finding works, mostly but not entirely wind ensemble works, played in competitions and at universities, again mostly.) I need to check the guidelines about music biography notability again, but also welcome thoughts. (I heard of the composer when reading Fanfare Magazine reviews some while back - of the Crystal Records issues, as I remember - and that's the source of my interest, if there's any question.)
