Talk:Franz Gleißner

Untitled
The list at de: contains something like a dozen symphonies, not three... I have only seen two in parts myself so far however. WorldCat seems to suggest there are more than three but that is not the most reliable way to go of course... so, I don't really know here. I've seen one said to be the first of a set of 6, in C (at Munich Library, scanned in by them); there's his op.1 mentioned by Wyn Jones in the Symphony in Beethoven's Vienna (and given - 1800? 1803? as approx. publication date- will have to check again), and there's op.15 (scanned in by Munich Library, again, for strings and a small complement of ad libitum winds.) de-Wikipedia mentions some symphonies-faciles and some other works, with references incl. Adolph Hofmeister, Handbuch der musikalischen Literatur, 1817 (reliable), among others.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)


 * There may be a lot fewer morons at de: than at en: (the latter is infested), but I'm still not going to take any Wikipedia at face value. For me, the fact remains that I haven't heard any music by Gleissner in any way, shape or form. James470 (talk) 01:15, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah, you didn't mention that. I can point to sound samples of music by Gleissner - from a Musica Bavarica CD containing ballet music of his ("Heinz von Stein, genannt der Wilde"), here. An MDG CD in their series of works attributed to Mozart or arranged from works by Mozart contains an arrangement by Gleissner of Mozart's serenade KV361 into a work for strings and winds (an example less of his composition than of his arrangement, of course.) The rest I can find that's been recorded seems to be mostly on LP. Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:56, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Now, you do realize James470 is the one who perpetrated the Michael Haydn Star Wars hoax, right? Flutedude (talk) 16:11, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
