Talk:A Lover's Concerto

Writing credit
I removed J.S. Bach from the writing credit in the infobox. The classical piece associated with him (but now generally attributed to C. Petzold) is discussed in the article; however, that minuet provided only the basic melody for Linzer and Randell's song, and it would have been in the public domain in any event -- thus they are entitled to all of the writing credit.

Extraneous Info
The following needs to be on the entry page for the Bach notebook:

"(Although often attributed to Bach himself, the "Minuet in G major" is now believed to have been written by Christian Petzold. The Notebook, a gift from Bach to his second wife Anna, begins with works by Bach but also included many blank pages, onto which members of the family copied works that they liked to play; the famous minuets in G major and G minor are not in Bach's handwriting.)"

On this page this info is extraneous, and you end up with more info about the minuet than the song that is the focus of the article. Where Bach got the 3/4 tune from doesn't have any bearing on A Lover's Concerto.202.82.171.186 (talk) 03:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Reply to 202.82.171.186
The full explanation may be extraneous, but as it stands the page is claiming falsely that it is based on Bach. It has been established and accepted in the classical music world that it was the work of Christian Petzold since the 1970s, so at the least it should be changed to say the proper composer's name. If needed a link to a reference could be added to it, linking to the page on Christian Petzold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Petzold_(composer)), which also lists 3 references for the information about the misattribution to Bach.

I'm sure we can all agree that a full explanation isn't needed, but Wikipedia should not have information that is incorrect because of the need to be concise. Thank you! Jediprice70 (talk) 06:45, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
