Wien bridge oscillators can certainly meet the distortion needs,

limited range) with an external voltage?

BTDT with trying to voltage control a Wien Bridge
oscillator. The initial problem to solve is that
one of the resistive elements has a CMV on it, but
the real problem is moving the frequency without
transient amplitude changes/bounces.

The underlying problem there is that rectification
of a single phase (to get a low ripple dc for the agc)
cannot be made fast enough. I have a vague memory in
one of those reader Design Ideas at that time, of
someone resorting to a complicated s/hold on Vpk to
get a fast response dc for the agc.
