Talk:Peter Sculthorpe

Untitled
Dysprosia, yes you're right, music evokes, scores simply direct, I was a bit sloppy there. As to most famous, maybe? One of the most famous, definitely. Clarkk

Most famous in Aus, I mean... I mean you think of Australian composer, you think of Sculthorpe... Dysprosia 10:05, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I rated this article as mid-importance, as Sculthorpe is Australia's best-known living composer, one of its National Treasures, etc. The article has some good information in it, but is (1) not very thorough and (2) is very informally written. Ckerr 15:13, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Private Life
I've read a lot about Sculthorpe, but have never seen a single word about his private life. Is he married? Does he have children? Is he gay? Is there anything on the public record about this? JackofOz 10:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

He is married, he does have children but zealously guards his privacy and never submits to interviews about his family and loved ones. There has been speculation about Sculthorpe having homosexual preferences, but this is unsubstantiated and is not more than rumour. Meow meow - purr purr (talk) 03:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually I just found an article by Tasmanian Gay Rights Advocate Rodney Croome who got in some hot water over publicly that Sculthorpe and another unconnected Tasmanian Artist were actually homosexual. After receiving written complaints from both artists he printed his retraction on his website: http://www.rodneycroome.id.au/weblog?id=C10_23_1 Meow meow - purr purr (talk) 03:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Very interesting.  --  JackofOz (talk) 23:48, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Limelight (May 2009) has an interesting feature on him, in honour of his 80th birthday later this month. He talks about his broken engagement to Anne Boyd, among other things. I've added some pertinent details to the article. -- JackofOz (talk) 02:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Let's set the record straight: Peter has never been married and does not have children. And is not gay.Guyburns (talk) 14:39, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Port Essington
It isnt listed anywhere in this. A piece for chamber orchestra and string quartet? Isnt even mentioned in his work section...wtf?--GunshotGlitter 09:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. And - enough of the "wtf" stuff please. If there isn't information there, do your research and ADD it! Meow meow - purr purr (talk) 03:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Left Bank Waltz
I've redirected Left Bank Waltz to this article. It came in at number 65 in the Classic 100 piano (ABC) countdown, but I can find no mention of it in the list of works. Could someone please add it, or if you like, could you provide me with a URL of Sculthorpe's complete works so I can update the list of works on this page? Cheers.

A few problems
It's under-referenced, and there appears to be too much reliance on a few sources.

Is FC Smith relevant?

Hasn't Graham Skinner written a biography?

This might be useful in the first instance. I don't intend to work on the article myself.
