Talk:Perger-Verzeichnis

Divertimento in G
"However, Perger overlooked a divertimento in G major that is sometimes called a symphony." Is there anymore information on this piece?

Title?
The Mozart article is now called Köchel catalogue. Perhaps this one might have a more Anglophone-friendly name as well? -- Klein zach  11:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Sacred Music
Did Perger catalogue any of the sacred music? I think that might be implied by the "instrumental compositions" in the first paragraph? If it doesn't include vocal music, I think we should mention that those are not included. DavidRF (talk) 03:49, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * According to the article here and this also, just the orchestral music is in the Perger catalog (or the initial Perger catalog- maybe he expanded it later? Schissel | Sound the Note! 17:46, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Violin and viola duos
The article continues the tale that Mozart's duos for violin and viola have their origin in an act of sympathy for an illness of Michael Haydn's and oppressive demands of the latter's employer. This story has apparently one or two sources, possibly only one (Nissen's Mozart biography) from which all the others may be quoting, itself not sufficiently reliable, and on the other hand there is reason to doubt it. Alfred Einstein laid out the case a half-century ago in "Mozart: His Character, His Work", more can be found in this thread at mozartforum.com, but in essence if one wants to say this - even though this is an article devoted to Michael Haydn, such references will be picked up and spread widely, since this is Wikipedia! ... - one's sources should ideally be something with known high standards of sourcing (is that true of the book referred to). (Something in a more recent scholarly publication - and yes, I know that my own reference is indeed a half-century old - is not so bad, either. I have JSTOR access for now and will see what I can find, since I think there are articles on those duos where the history is relevant...) Schissel | Sound the Note! 14:56, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If this is a tale, it has propagated well enough without Wikipedia's help. I've heard two radio DJs repeat it. Willi Gers07 (talk) 18:42, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
