Translated from French wikipedia. Opinions? Should this be a stub? Should this be expanded? -- Andy Wang (talk/contrb.) 02:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Please help with citation. Link is: http://www.boosey.com/pages/cr/catalogue/cat_detail.asp?musicid=4776. It's a program note. I think it's clear what information comes from it. --Birdman1 02:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I added another section, as with many other articles with a section called "references". The link is there. -- Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 00:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

How many kettledrums is that? I haven't seen a performance where the drummer doesn't have at least two. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I can only recall attending one live performance of this concerto, and that was too long ago for me to remember how many kettledrums were used. However, in this edit, IP editor 2600:1700:37e0:1a00:39be:f905:4ef8:883e corrected "accompanied by timpani" to "The work also calls for a timpani". Presuming the editor to have access to the score (which I do not), I corrected the plural "timpani" to "timpanum", and the Latin form has subsequently been corrected to Italian. It is a common mistake by English speakers to use a plural form of a foreign word as if it were singular ("a biscotti", "one pirozhki" etc.). Of course if the score indicates two or more drums, then the grammatical mistake consists in using a singular article with a plural noun, but then why change the perfectly clear previous wording?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:31, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Symphonies of Wind Instruments is mentioned a Neo-classical work.
I am not entirely sure this is true. Stylistically, the Symphonies of Wind Instruments seems to belong much more to the earlier period. Wiki's page on the Symphonies suggests the same thing. Kpp9c (talk) 08:32, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
