Talk:George Onslow (composer)

Truth of fancy?
This article seems to have been written by an enthusiast. For instance: "His work was admired by both Beethoven and Schubert, the latter modelling his own 2-cello quintet (D.956) on those of Onslow and not, as is so often claimed, on those of Boccherini. Robert Schumann, perhaps the foremost music critic during the first part of the 19th century, regarded Onslow’s chamber music on a par with that of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. Mendelssohn was also of this opinion."

I know of no indication that Beethoven was even aware of Onslow. The rest I can't speak to, but it seems more than mildly surprising. There are, of course, no footnotes for any of this. I hope somebody can truth-check this, or remove the unsupported statements.Opus131 (talk) 03:20, 18 February 2014 (UTC)


 * It's also completely uncited. There is a long list of references, which is highly improbably used in so short and so slight an article.  Definitely needs major work.HammerFilmFan (talk) 17:16, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
