Talk:Pietro Locatelli

Copy edit, August 2013

 * Locatelli habe „große Schwierigkeiten krächzend“ aus seiner Violine herausgeholt, um die „Zuhörer zum Verwundern zu bringen.“ is really difficult to render. It seems to mean roughly that Locatelli negotiated some big difficulties while scratching away at his violin in order to astonish the audience. Well, maybe :) --Stfg (talk) 13:35, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * "Including taxes he earned about 1500 guilders in 1742 alone" needs clarifying. The German reads: "1742 wurde sein Einkommen in einer Schätzung der Personalsteuern mit 1500 Gulden jährlich eingestuft". Does this mean he earned 1500 guilder before taxes, or that he was assessed for 1500 guilders of tax? --Stfg (talk) 16:15, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The German article uses the word Lexigraphen, which is not in my dictionary. Here it cannot mean lexigraph. I've guessed at lexicographers. Please correct if wrong. (It might also mean cataloguers, perhaps?) --Stfg (talk) 16:15, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
