Long footnote[edit]

seemed much better than adding a trivia section, since the footnote isn't unmoored; it's specifically about the second movement, and avoids one failing which has caused the trivia sections to be deprecated with reason. (And lengthy footnotes are a tradition :) ) Hope it's ok, seriously- itself it does need some improvement. If both pieces were IMSLP-accessible it would be easy to say eg reasoning-by-observation. As is, the score of op 83 there is presently [B]-blocked... Schissel | Sound the Note! 17:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Four masterpieces"?[edit]

I changed this to just "masterpieces" for NPOV. Even though the opinion is sourced it is still just an opinion, and I suspect an eccentric one. Raff but not Schubert, Franck or Shostakovitch? Definitely enters the realms of the debatable/POV. I hope my change solves the neutrality issue to everyone's satisfaction; in any case, the article is about Dvorak, not Raff. Mentioning Schumann and Brahms makes sense however, as it might point the reader to two important influences on Dvorak. Mcoverdale (talk) 21:44, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
