Infobox?
editI think that an infobox would improve the article. Many articles on peer composers have infoboxes. The source says that consensus is needed in the talk page before someone adds one. What do folks think? Glucosegeyser (talk) 18:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not a direct answer to your question, but there's currently an RfC going on at Wikipedia Talk:Manual of Style/Infoboxes about this subject very broadly, so some may be a bit twitchy... Remsense诉 18:39, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads-up. I should probably leave this to the editors with more experience in this area then... Glucosegeyser (talk) 19:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- No, it's fine! I'm mostly kidding. You may have this discussion perfectly well. Remsense诉 19:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

some issues
editThere are some issues in the Twelve-tone_period section. The bit that reads:
{{Schoenberg criticized Igor Stravinsky's new neoclassical trend in the poem "Der neue Klassizismus" (in which he derogates neoclassicism, and obliquely refers to Stravinsky as "Der kleine Modernsky"), which he used as text for the third of his Drei Satiren, Op. 28.[66]}}
has an obvious issue in that the text of "Der neue Klassizismus", which was used as lyrics for opus 28 No.3 does *not* contain the text "der kleine Modernsky". The text to "Vielseitigkeit", used in opus 28 No.2 is the one that contains the "der kleine Modernsky" but.
You may check this in the opus 28 score itself:
It does not help that the citation refers to a source that is not online, and cannot easily be checked. So I don't know if that is the source of the error.
I would also say that the bit "Igor Stravinsky's new neoclassical trend" is a bit handwavy - it would be a lot better if there would be an example of a work from the proper period that could be an example of the kind of music Schoenberg tried to mock.
Finally, the term "derogate" sound unnecessarily negative. Opus 28 is a collection of satires, something like "criticize" or "mock" or indeed, satirize would be more appropriate.
