Close paraphrasing
I've removed the Style section of this article as it was virtually word for word with only minor changes from http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=42:28477. I've also edited the lead for the same reason. This kind of close paraphrasing is a copyright infringement and completely unacceptable on Wikipedia for legal reasons. Please read Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Voceditenore (talk) 21:58, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

The editor whose additions I had removed has reverted the opening sentence to 'their' version which contains a verbatim lift from [1] Compare:
Original source: Composed in 1885 during Borodin's visit to Belgium to attend a performance of his not-yet-complete opera Prince Igor...
Editor's version: ...written in 1885, during Borodin's visit to Belgium to attend a performance of his not-yet-complete opera Prince Igor.
Note also this material re-added to the removed Style section:
Original source: Although at less than three minutes' playing time, Borodin's Scherzo is clearly a miniature and is both an impressive précis of its composer and an effective piece in its own right.
Editor's version: At around three minutes' playing time, it is clearly a miniature however it offers an impressive summary of its composer's style and is an effective piece
This is close paraphrasing to the point of copyright infringement. In such a short article it is even more glaring. I am once again to going repair the article to remove this and correct the spelling errors. Please do not re-add the material in the closely paraphrased version. Write the article in your own words or not at all. This is not a personal quirk of mine, this is Wikipedia policy and it is not negotiable. Further guidance can be found here See especially FAQ 4.

An Amazon listing is not a suitable reference
These sorts of references to commercial sites selling the recordings are inappropriate, especially Amazon, Prestoclassical etc. This section should be referenced to published reviews and discography discussions in
