Good grief[edit]

Could someone edit this so it reads like ENGLISH??? "They were among the first Italian composers in some time" is just one of the monstrosities that jump out of this word salad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.153.6 (talk) 07:28, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Let's get the dates in his worklist right...[edit]

The composer's "compulsion", his tendency to note the dates on which he began and finished works - sometimes in connection with other events in his life - on his manuscripts - is noted by Sciannameo (see p. 47 in his article- or Footnote 53, page 21 in the Findarticles.com version.) So 1915 for Fedra, when it was completed in 1912 - and premiered in 1913? (... This might mean 1913/5 with a 1915 revision, but if so that should be written out.) The list is filled with mistakes that some searching, finding of various sources, ... could fix... I probably made most of them myself when I created the initial stub, I know, but they've stayed there since then and the article now has mirrors of its mirrors like everything of its age on Wikipedia, which should concern anyone who's bothered a bit by that Mark Twain dictum and wants to help the truth tie its shoes faster, even truths that are, mostly, accuracy and not more critical...

Ah, I see - 1915 for Fedra comes from (or may come from) Mervyn Cooke's Cambridge Companion to 20th-century Opera (p. 35)... got it. I still think it's wrong (of course, I haven't _seen_ the manuscript), but got it... Schissel | Sound the Note! 06:03, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
