maybe pedia should tell he died 49 years old or just for some days he died in 48,95 ?


 * He was 48 when he died. --Missmarple 21:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

You can hardly call him post-Romantic if he died in 1909! A silly label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.140.79.183 (talk) 00:12, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

List of compositions
I believe this article would grealy benefit from a list of compositions, as often found elsewhere on Wikipedia (for example, in the article on Paganini). Nat 14:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Is not the Rapsodia española a piece for solo piano? As far as I know, the orchestrated version (for piano and orchestra) is by Halffter. Please verify this and put it correctly. 83.78.158.45 (talk) 16:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Others
You could mention the version by Joja Wendt, a german piano player, he made a great piano piece of it. It's name is also Asturias. Just listen to it, it's great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.63.83.82 (talk) 02:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Catalan? Spanish?
I see the Catalan attribution has just been changed to Spanish by an anon IP. -- Kleinzach (talk) 11:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, catalans are people from a region in Spain called Catalonia, I think if in Wikipedia articles mention the national and not the regional origins of people the article should read "Spanish", the regional origins can be added later in ther article. Otherwise the article about Beethoven should not only say he was German but also he was from Rhine-Westphalia. I'm correcting the article, I hope if anyone disagrees they post their points of view here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.158.132.213 (talk) 21:10, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Catalan people, understood as a cultural group, include also non-Spanish citizens, such as those in Roussillon. For this reason, it is more accurate to keep both adjectives when providing the context for a biographical entry like this one. "Spanish Catalan" (analogously "French Catalan") is a neutral expression that nicely covers both usual meanings of "nationality": legal citizenship and cultural group. Moreover, it prevents pointless edit wars of people changing one label into the other, as proven in highly edited entries such as Antoni Gaudí or Salvador Dalí.

Paris Conservatoire?
"he took out a ball from his pocket and broke a glass window while playing with it..." Where on earth did they find that???? Most encyclopedia's, and the Source just say he was too young? Is it a rumour, or is there actual information. (I've taken out that part, and submitted the more widely accepted belief, correct me if you have proof)

Composer project review
I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. I reluctantly give this article a Start rating; there is a fair amount of good work here, but omissions of material typical of composer biographies, and other numerous defects, force me to lower the rating to Start. My full review is on the comments page; questions and comments can be left here or on my talk page.  Magic ♪piano 23:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Bright's Disease is an archaic term
I would suggest chronic renal failure is a more current term but having no reference will not edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PietrH (talk • contribs) 16:13, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

citation needed for quote by Albeniz on his early work
regarding following quote: ''There are among them a few things that are not completely worthless. [...]''

I found the source below (a book), it contains the same quote as what is said here. Isaac Albéniz: Portrait of a Romantic, p. 264 Walter Aaron Clark Oxford University Press, 2002 - 321 pages
