Talk:Johann Kaspar Mertz

Name
This article should be renamed (moved to) "Caspar Joseph Mertz". He was baptised "Casparus Josephus Mertz", and in German-speaking Habsburg Hungary, this was "Caspar Joseph". "Johann Kaspar" was merely a misprint or misreading in a 20th-century music edition, a mistake that shouldn't be continued. Although some of his music is published as by "Johann Kaspar Mertz", more modern editions and virtually all recent CD recordings of his music are as "Caspar Joseph Mertz".

I will leave this comment here for some weeks, and if there are no objections will move to the new name in July. Aklein62 (talk) 09:47, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

As of today more than 4 years and a half later the name has not yet been modified... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.43.202.137 (talk) 23:30, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
