Delius' Love Child

I have added a "citation needed" to the story of Delius's Florida affair and the child that was the fruit of it. I have read quite a bit on Delius, and I have never come across this before. It's not in itself inherently unbelievable but it's source needs to be identified.Meb53 23:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Parents sending children to Florida orange groves

Was there a fad for doing this in the 1880s as the actor Tyrone Power, Sr. was also sent from England to Florida to work in the citrus groves around the same time as Delius? Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 22:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Musical Uniqueness

Delius's musical style is one of the most unusual in Western musical history.

I know the phrase in the article has just been changed from unique to unusual. However both sound wrong to me; I think the problem might be more with 'one of the most' rather than the word that follows... Nick Watts 10:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that it does sound unencyclopedic. How should it be said, though? It remains an important point to mention somehow, because the distinctiveness of his music is not especially contested and has much to do with why he is a noteworthy composer. --209.6.158.78 06:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
