Talk:Maria Theresia von Paradis

Untitled
According, as I recall, to Cuthbert Girdlestone (Mozart and his Piano Concertos), "nach Paris" - Leopold's words- might mean not "for Paris" but rather, "from Paris" as in, just back from. (Also, it's B♭, not B nor, on Wikipedia, Bb.) Also, it's not at all clear whether the 18th or 19th concerto was meant. "The identity of the herrliches konzert must remain a mystery."

von Paradis / Paradis
In sources on Anton Franz Mesmer, in which she plays a prominent role due to his treatment of hers leading to his 'exile' from Vienna, she is always mentioned as just Paradis, not 'von' Paradis. Which is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxMimomus (talk • contribs) 15:12, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Weber
Thanks to User:Maestroukr for his enlightening addition to the article. I had no idea the piece was lifted almost note for note from the Weber Sonata. Ravpapa (talk) 14:47, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have checked it, and it certainly is not "note for note", Duskin's piece being 50% longer.--Aristophile (talk) 14:36, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The first half of the Sicilienne is note for note lifted from the Weber sonata. The second half is, as far as I can tell, Dushkin's own. It certainly is not taken note for note from the Tchaikowsky third string quartet - in fact there is hardly even a passing resemblence. @DCLawyer attributes this to a blog post on Reddit, not what we consider to be a reliable source here on Wikipedia.
 * I will give editors a chance to respond before I edit. Ravpapa (talk) 05:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @DCLawwyer has once again included his contention that the Sicilienne is take from Tchaikowsky third string quartet. This time he also attributed that claim to a web page which makes no mention of Tchaikowsky. Nor is the theme an inversion of the Weber sonata. It is an exact quote.
 * I don't understand why @DCLawwyer is so insistent on these patently erroneous claims, nor do I understand why he has decided to change his username from @DCLawyer. Ravpapa (talk) 04:57, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Now I understand. @DCLawwyer is a sockpuppet, with a notorious history of disruptive editing. I have reported him. Ravpapa (talk) 05:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * My apologies to @DCLawwyer for accusing him of being a sockpuppet of @DCLawyer. The lawyer with one "w" is indeed a sockpuppet, and it was I who misspelled the name of the two-"w" lawyer in the talk page comment above.
 * This doesn't change the fact that there is no similarity between the Tchaikowsky quartet and the Sicilienne, except, perhaps, that they are both written using notes. Ravpapa (talk) 05:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
