Talk:Fou Ts'ong

name change
would anyone object to having this article moved under the name "Fu Cong" instead of the current "Fou Ts'ong" ? Seeing as his father is under "Fu Lei", i thought that maybe father and son should have their names with the same romanization method...

 * I see this proposal went nowhere, but for the record, I would object to it. For better or worse, he's known in the West by the spelling we currently have.  --  JackofOz (talk) 07:01, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

"The Pianistic Art of Fou Ts'ong"
I can find no indication that this album exists aside from its mention here. Is this perhaps a back-translation from Polish into English? I would be inclined to regard the Fryderyk Chopin Institute as reliable for claims about Chopin's interpreters, but this claim doesn't seem to check out. AleatoryPonderings (???)

 * it appears to be a "private issue " which implies it wasn't released commercially Source and another source in Polish. I don't speak Polish either, but Google Translate renders word for word "Martha Argerich, Leon Fleisher and Radu Lupu, fascinated by the art of Fou Ts'ong, privately released in 1994 a compact disc entitled "The Piano Art of Fou Ts'ong"."

 * , Yeah, on a second look the "private issue" bit seems critical. I asked at RSN about the Fryderyk Chopin Institute and it seems reliable, so I'm inclined to trust it on this as well. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 20:47, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

… does not seem to be highly regarded at WP:RSN. See Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_305 and Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_271. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 03:48, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've noted this again. The piece is a classic pre-concert puff piece; I wouldn't regard it as reliable for anything except perhaps the date/venue of the concert it's promoting. Can anyone access the full Grove's entry? I might try the Wikipedia Library but I've not managed to get it to work since they 'simplified' access.
 * Anyway, going offline now (need to practise my own piano). See where we are later. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:04, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have access to the full Grove entry, but it's only two paragraphs and says nothing about praise from his professors. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 04:07, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok, WL now gives that to me but there's no more text than the free sample. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:29, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
