  1. Is this Angeline?!

    Good opening sentence and structure. I like the way you have divided the information into his early life and then his specific achievements.
    In the concluding sentence I think you mean' His perfect and wonderful pieces have become a ...',

    Well done for using some non - defining relative clauses!

    Have a look at your tenses, such as 'He died in..' 'He received' and some others.

    I can definitely see an improvement - well done!
