Dear Mr. Zappa
I am sorry not to be able to grant your request. I am leaving for Europe next week and will be gone until next spring. I am hoping however to see you on my return. With best wishes.
Sincerely Edgard Varese
Zappa purchased EMS 401 which is called "The Complete Works of Edgard Varese, Volume One"

Edgar now redirects to Edgard
Edgar Varèse now redirects to the most common Edgard Varèse.
Dates and Styles
Should the birth and death dates appear after the name/page title (1883 - 1965) ?
Is there a standard Wiki Jawaka style for quoting from sources such as biographies etc.?
Not that I will agree with it even if there is :-)

Re: Dates and styles
- Should the birth and death dates appear after the name/page title (1883 - 1965)?
Not in the page-name/title IMO. We could standardize it by listing it as the first chunk of info on the page though.
- Is there a standard Wiki Jawaka style for quoting from sources such as biographies etc.?
Not yet - do you have a proposition?

Wikipedia says there is no consensus on such things but provides some hints:
