Talk:Otto Erich Deutsch

Deleted one cite, added another
I removed the following reference:

I'm not sure it's properly formatted, and the ref is (at least at the moment) inaccessible. Is Deutsch's contribution an essay in the larger work, and is it somehow relevant to the article, other than being an example of his publications?

I also added a cite for Deutsch's best-known work, the Schubert catalogue. Magicpiano (talk) 13:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

The importance in Deutsch's work lies in the fact that the publiction of Schubert's works (and hence their opus numbers) bears almost no resemblence to their chronological order (ie date of composition). As a result, there was a perception that Schubert's style did not develop, as well as many other prejudices against Schubert's music - See Alfred Brendel's artical on Schubert in his book 'Musical Thoughts and Afterthoughts'. O E Deutsch's catalogue was an important step in remedying many of the biases against Schubert.

Protestant?
A recent edit indicates that Deutsch was a Protestant of Jewish origin. I've looked over correspondence between Deutsch and Schenker which is sprinkled with Yiddishisms, which I would think would be atypical of someone who wasn't Jewish. Can someone find more information? - kosboot (talk) 13:04, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * See entry in the Lexikon verfolgter Musiker und Musikerinnen der NS-Zeit: "1903 war Deutsch, der aus einer jüdischen Familie stammte, zum evangelischen Glauben konvertiert." [Deutsch, who came from a Jewish family, converted in 1903 to the Protestant faith.] -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:03, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
