Talk:Ständchen, D 889 (Schubert)

Music
This article supposedly is about a Schubert composition, but is almost entirely about the text. It doesn't even say what key the piece is in. Richard K. Carson (talk) 23:40, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Well,, If you'd like to write a thousand words about one of Schubert's most inconsequential tunes, please feel free. On the other hand, no-one has yet come up with any sort of response whatever to the comprehensive textual challenge I posed, apart from deleting some pretty pictures, thus turning it into a tedious wasteland of text.
 * By the way, the piece is in D♭♭. Anyone with half an ounce of musical intelligence would have had a look at the original MS (refs provided). Anyway, why do you care? There are arrangements to suit every singer, and the performing artist chooses the key to suit their voice, not the other way around. I actually prefer singing Schumann's "Ich grolle nicht" in C#, since I can transpose at sight, and it's much easier. Only people with perfect pitch of A=440 would notice if I arranged and conducted the opening of Rheingold in E major, although it would probably propel the proverbial feline pigeonwards.

 * By the way,, how's it going? Oh, you seem to have to been completely banned. What a pity. I really miss your cogent and thoughtful contributions. But is there a case for reinstating copy which was deleted by an editor suffering from this condition? MinorProphet (talk) 03:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
