- I would really suggest that a different hook be proposed here, as it basically says that a composer composed a work. It says nothing about his life, career, or accomplishments. In addition, the hook as written would only appeal to those interested in European classical music and not to a broad international audience, as it mentions niche topics such as a Munich performance or a soloist that most people have not heard of. I would suggest that a different hook be written about him, something that would make even someone not interested in classical music want to learn more about him. Perhaps the part that goes
Stranz spent two years at the electronic studio in Utrecht
could be a good starting point here? I'm really wondering what an electronic studio has to do with classical music.
- As an additional comment, the part which goes
Stranz died in Zürich shortly before his 58th birthday of cancer. He was buried at the Fluntern Cemetery.

Patience please. - Look at Stockhausen perhaps to understand how much classical contemporary music has to do with electronic music. The composer who recently died won the Pulitzer prize for a completely electronic piece of music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:03, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Article new enough and long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no copyvio concerns raised by Earwig, and QPQ done. Hook is cited and interesting and complies with DYK policy. That does not require a hook to refer to a subject’s life, career, or accomplishments, or to “appeal to a broad international audience”. Ready to go, unless Gerda Arendt wishes to suggest an ALT.
