Talk:Antonio Maria Gaspare Sacchini

Merge
I suggest this article be merged with that on Antonio Sacchini. Using the shorter name is in line with Wikipedia naming policy. - Kleinzach 14:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * There's not much left to merge, all the information is in this article. Maybe a mod should be asked to remove the short titled version, and rename this one to Antonio Sacchini. Thijs! 14:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * This (long title) article credits EB (11th) which is often unreliable. In this case (whoever wrote it and whatever source was used) the quality is poor. The story about AS's father being a poor fisherman does not appear in David DiChiera's article in Grove - our basic reference for opera. In fact AS's father belonged to the retinue of the Infante Don Carlos. It also refers to his first opera seria as his first serious opera! Several of the names of the operas are wrong as well.


 * I think most of this article needs to be carefully checked before being transferred to the other (short name) article which while being a stub is factually accurate. I wonder if you want to do this? Regards - Kleinzach 18:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Factual inaccuracy
Apart from the points above, Sacchini's dates (in this article) are different from those in Grove. This article has 23 July 1734 to 7 October 1786, whereas Grove has 14 June 1730 to 6 October 1786. - Kleinzach 15:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
