• ... that Daníel Bjarnason's 2018 piece From Space I Saw Earth is composed for orchestra and three conductors, each performing semi-independently?

  • ALT1:... that in 2018, the Los Angeles Philharmonic commissioned Daníel Bjarnason to write From Space I Saw Earth, a piece to be performed with three conductors simultaneously?

Noahfgodard, I'll review this, and thank you for the article!. Musical works should be italic, so I changed this, and ALT1 is much better, so I strike the other. The three miniature images in the infobox are good for nothing, and should appear right below, each in normal size. Probably we'll need an ALT2, with the piece as the very first link, to attract clicks on the piece, not the composer. Now I'll read the article ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:19, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Interesting article, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I miss two things, just for curiosity: around how long is it, and what is the music like? I can't believe there's no review for such an exceptional work, only announcements. I am also not sure sure if the description "for orchestra and three conductors" is correct, - perhaps add a source. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:44, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

This should at least be good for an external link. also detailed, and now seriously. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:10, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thank you! I'll take a look at the reviews and factor some new info in. What I'd really love to get into the article is specific info on the instrumentation of the piece, but I can't it anywhere. Hopefully it gets published soon, at which point that info will be available. In the meantime, I added an ALT2; how does that look? Noahfgodard (talk) 17:54, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Pinging @Gerda Arendt: for response. Yoninah (talk) 12:46, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

That's nice. Next time propose a new hook below, please, and sorry that I missed it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:38, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Ah my bad - will do. Thanks! Noahfgodard (talk) 19:10, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
