Meaning of Kapellmeister
For the life of me I cannot figure out what "Kapellmeister" translates to. I assume it is something close to "conductor" or "music director", but assumptions aren't very useful on Wikipedia. Meister translates to "master" but I've not the foggiest what the combination means. It'd be great if someone could shed some light on this! I ask because I think it would be good if a translation of the meaning of it could be added after its first mention in the intro paragraph. CaptainEek (talk) 19:55, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Lacking information on recordings
This article is slowly building. One area not discussed is his the list of his recordings, which is extensive. One of the External links includes one that has a list of recordings. The German Wikipedia article lists recordings, one place to start for ideas. --Prairieplant (talk) 07:13, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

 * How is Kapellmeister? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:44, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! I knew someone had to know the answer, you've been most helpful. I didn't realize there was a Wikipedia page on the topic already; I'll just make kapellmeister into an internal link. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 19:10, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
