Talk:Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck

Date error
Dear English-speaking colleagues: Frescobaldi was born in 1583. How can be a predecessor of Sweelinck ? Frescobaldi still used diapers while Sweelinck was already an Oude Kerk organist !!!

Greetings Daguero (talk)


 * Fixed -- thanks for pointing it out. That error has stood for four years:  oops.  It was my own mistake, too.  Probably I meant "contemporary", but back in early 2004 we didn't list sources.  Times sure have changed.  Antandrus  (talk) 20:29, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Travel to Italy?
Good morning: Just another thought, we read first that we have no evidence that Sweelinck went to Italy, and later we find that he used the double choir configuration because he learned it from his travel to Venice. This may be due to mixing two different sources. In any case, I thank you for your good job, the Spanish Wikipedia article is a humble translation of yours. I would like to enhance also with the Dutch Wikipedia article, which has a beautiful image of the Oude Kerk organ and explanations on the organ characteristics.

Composer project review
I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. This is a relatively fine B-class article; the writing and research appears to be in order, but it is missing some content typical of most important composers. My full review is on the comments page; questions and comments should be left here or on my talk page.  Magic ♪piano 19:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Pronunciation
The phonetic transcription says his name is pronounced "swy-link" in English. Weird. Is this seriously how people say it in America? Certainly not inn Britain: "sway-link". Flapdragon (talk) 07:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
