Talk:Nicola Porpora

Untitled
I find the article about Porpora to be almost an abomination. To describe him as a Baroque opera composer means to forget an important of his achievements as a composer of other musical forms (oratorio, psalms settings, antiphons, etc.) The criticism on the bottom of the page only refers to ONE of his operas and criticizes his composition skills from a very superficial point of view. In my opinion, it is clear that the person who wrote that section doesn't really know Porpora's music to be able to write a well-founded opinion about him. Taking the wrong work from any composer can show him of his bad side, even if it is Handel, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert or any other great composer. I hope this page is not taken as basis for Wikipedia articles about Porpora in other languages. 141.54.152.17 (talk) 01:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Martines's teacher
In her autobiography Marianna von Martines doesn't name Porpora among her teachers.--Suessmayr (talk) 09:24, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
