This reads as if it's referring to Egon Wellesz's 4th symphony, but the actual link is to Vaughan Williams' 4th symphony. Both composers did write a 4th symphony. Which one is the correct one? -- 202.142.129.66 (talk) 01:25, 16 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

It links actually to Sister Wendy Beckett as the writer of one of the biographies. She was British and Africa born and wrote books about women artists. She is not the author. Wendy Beckett, the biographer, is an Australian playwright, born in Australia. I have the book on my desk. If it can helps. OperaBlues (talk) 14:08, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
