Talk:Johann Rufinatscha

Jos. Rufinatscha?
when on IMSLP making a partial list of the works of Robert Radecke, I noticed that "R. Radecke" was sometimes Robert, sometimes Rudolf (his brother) (which made sense of the appearance of two opus 1s, two opus 2s, etc. of great difference in time etc.) I notice a Johann Rufinatscha, J. Rufinatscha but also Jos. Rufinatscha- is this a relative of Johann or a matter of "Joseph Joachim Raff" (which leads to trouble in turn since all Joachim's brothers were named Joseph and at least one other brother composed and was published as 'Jos. Raff')...

since the J.Rufinatscha whose sonata in F minor op.5 was published in 1847 is probably either Jos. Rufinatscha or else the sonata in F minor was lost (or both) (Joseph also composed a sonata no.2? op9 in F published in 1857, while Johann had two works opp 15 and 18 - lost? - published in 1871 (Aug 1871 HMB) and 1880 (June 1880, HMB)- a fantasie in B major and a sonata no3 for piano in D minor.

According to some input I've received on another forum, notes to an upcoming recording, and perhaps other material, may clarify this. As to opus 9 said to be by "Jos" Rufinatscha in HMB I am told that the score - same edition, etc. - says Johann Rufinatscha clearly; this is not HMB repeating someone else's typographical error or a work by another composer, but making an error of its own Schissel | Sound the Note! 02:47, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Brahms statement tagged for a reference
"...his fear not to live up to Beethoven" - need the reference/page number, please. The theories for why Brahms waited so long to publish a first symphony are many; reading the best bio's of him one gets the impression from friends that he just was not yet ready or sure of himself - the 'Beethoven' statement is a canard these days. Will remove in two weeks if no response. HammerFilmFan (talk) 08:23, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
