Thanks, Graham, these both look useful. The New Grove article on Hiller is perhaps an even more obvious source that has been overlooked up until now.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:58, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External link isn't useful

The link to

Ewer, Gary (27 May 2013). "What the "Illiac Suite" Taught Us About Music - Like a pictures in a photo album, music is more than one nice "shot" following another.".

seems to be advertising. Certainly it gives no useful information without purchase of one of the website's ebooks. Is there any good reason to keep this link? Tagging User:Jerome Kohl and User:Hyacinth for an opinion and guidance. yoyo (talk) 04:04, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a link to secretsofsongwriting.com. It was added 09:41, 14 December 2014‎. Hyacinth (talk) 21:36, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the link because of the typo, "Like a pictures..." Hyacinth (talk) 21:44, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this appears to be simply an advertisement. The fact that the book title mentions the Illiac Suite doesn't bestow usefulness on the link. I see no reason to keep it.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:52, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
