Talk:Barbara Ployer

Untitled
There seems to be some confusion about Barbara Ployer. Hutchings says that she was the daughter, not niece of the court councillor in Vienna; further, I can't locate the name of the place where she is meant to hhave died ("Bresane", Croatia) on a map. Anyone have any suggestions? Grahbudd 22:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * 1) Hutchings, who doesn't even know Senn's old article (Walter Senn, "Barbara Ployer, Mozarts Klavierschülerin", Österreichische Musikzeitschrift 33, 1978, 18-26), is simply wrong. Lorenz's article ("New and Old Documents Concerning Mozart's Students Barbara Ployer and Josepha Auernhammer", Eighteenth-Century Music, vol. 3, No. 2, September 2006, Cambridge  University Press 2006, 311-22) represents the latest research and confirms Senn's genealogy. 2) Bresane - which in 1811 was located in what was then Hungary - is today's Bresana near Križevci in Croatia [].--Suessmayr (talk) 16:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Haydn's dedication of Sonata un piccolo Divertimento, Hob.XVII:6
Barbara Ployer was not the dedicatee of Hob.XVII:6. Haydn's variations in f minor were composed in 1793 for Antonia von Ployer, née von Spaun (Gottfried Ignaz von Ployer's wife) and in 1799 dedicated again to Baroness Josephine von Braun, née Högelmüllner (Peter Gottlieb von Braun's wife).--Suessmayr (talk) 16:29, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Facsimile
Someone should mention that what we have of Ployer's studies with Mozart has been issued in facsimile by NMA. -- kosboot (talk) 22:46, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
