Nice entry I didn't know that Mother Goose was originally written for children to play...
These are my comments on this entry as far as style is concerned, just my opinion, though
I think you could dispense with the outline of the entry- I think the headers speak for themselves. Also the beginning of the 'biography' section should be in full sentences.
I like your assesment of his style; the only thing is I think you should explain what a pedal is. ie, most people would immediately think of the pedals on a piano & I'm sure thats not the kind you mean
About the piano to orchestra thing- you may want to mention that he also did it with other people's piano pieces, like Mussorsky's pictures at an exhibition.
About the pieces- you ~have~ to mention Bolero in more detail not doing so would be unfair to the audience
I really enjoyed this one, Kes, well done

Many thanks for your comments, Joanna.
There is such value in having another pair of eyes (and another brain) check out a piece of "solo" work!
I have adopted all you suggestions, and, as a result, the article now reads much better.
If you could spare the time for one more look - just in case I've missed something - I would be for ever grateful honest!
Thank you once more.

Thank you. After the upgrade, I'll read the submission instructions for the "Brave New World" and get cracking. I wonder what to tackle next? Another day, another adventure ...
