Talk:Adolph Brodsky

Conflicting biographies
It's interesting, but in essence all of the primary sources of this article (that excludes the Leipzig dinner page) are conflicting in the accounts of one event or the other. I've tried my best to reconcile them.--Atavi (talk) 22:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Brodsky Quartet
In yet more conflicting accounts in numerous sources, the members of the original (Leipzig) Brodsky Quartet were mixed up. First, some of the sources named Hugo Becker as a member of the Brodsky Quartet (others listed only H. Becker). Hugo was the brother of Hans Becker; their father was Jean Becker. Since Hugo was a cellist, Hans a violinist and Julius Klengel, a cellist, was part of the quartet, Hans was actually a member of the quartet. This is quite clear in the most detailed of the sources, the book by Ehrlich: "" The dates in the three possible articles which might enable one to decide whether Lionel Tertis had been a violin student of Brodsky in Leipzig (where he certainly studied the violin)are a little too vague to help. Tertis as a viola player had a strong vibrato style. Where did he get it from?Delahays (talk) 15:51, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Second, some did not list Hans Sitt as a member, but Ottokar Nováček. Again Ehrlich clear this up.

Finally, Elgar did not dedicate his string quartet to the Leipzig quartet, but to the Manchester. --Atavi (talk) 18:59, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Corrections by 61.117.24.237
I'd like to point out the contributions of 61.117.24.237. You can see them in the article's history, but I think a highlight is in order: 61.117.24.237 located and fixed two factual errors: --Atavi (talk) 22:01, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Hans rather than Hugo Becker, member of the Leipzig quartet
 * 2) Brodksy's quartet in Leipzig continued after his departure, with Arno Hilf taking Brodksy's position

The dates in the articles on Brodsky, Lionel Tertis, and the Leipzig Conservatoire don't really help to establish whether Tertis studied the violin there under Brodsky himse;f, though he would certainly have known Brodsky in England. Since Tertis as a violist had a notable vibrato, where he acquired it is of some interestDelahays (talk) 15:55, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
