Reviewing. Will get back in a bit. Darwin Naz (talk) 00:00, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Significantly expanded within 3 days of nomination. Copyvios possible violations were quotes and referenced accordingly. I suggest trimming or paraphrasing long quotes. I am partial to ALT1 since the original hook seems off considering the ballet is based on Mozartiana, which is Tchaikovsky's work. I do not see a strong connection with Mozart's music (except that it is a tribute to Mozart). If using Alt1, I suggest to include this minor wording change: "that George Balanchine ONLY started working on his ballet..." ALTs 2 & 3 are less interesting and source info should include page numbers given they are books/offline ref. Darwin Naz (talk) 00:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I don't think I can trim the quotes anymore, but from past experience it should be fine. ALT0 is stem from the fact that "Mozart" is in the title but it's actually Tchaikovsky's music, which is not a well known score as far as I'm aware, but I'm fine with using ALT1 (now with the word "only"). The page numbers are now included here. Corachow (talk) 10:11, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
