Talk:The Water Goblin

question
Grr someone help me : Dvořák changes key back to b minor for the water goblin theme, and he speeds up the tempo to a lively allegro vivo, which depicts the swirling waters engulfing the girl, for which Dvořák uses as well the Russian device of a descending whole tone scale[7] [8] and the diabolic delight of the water goblin.

this sentence doesn't read correct, don't know how to change it in the right order (allegro vivo pointing towards the drowning girl and the diabolic delight)

Six symphonic poems?
This articles says that Dvorák composed six symphonic poems. But six? Not five? 1. The Water Goblin. 2. The Noon Witch. 3. The Golden Spinning Wheel. 4. The Wild Dove. 5. A Hero's Song. ??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.47.8.65 (talk) 16:39, 9 May 2010 (UTC) It's just a thought, and I have no real evidence - but it could be whoever originally said there were 6 tone poems was also counting "In Nature's Realm" as one of them, which would make six.

 * Good question. That number was in the first revision of this article.  There are indeed only five late symphonic poems.  The confusion might arise from the fact that the Rhapsody in A minor, Op. 14, is listed as a symphonic poem in Dvorak's "list of compositions" article.  But there are other rhapsodies and I'm not sure if there is anything about Op. 14 that forces it to be classified differently than those.  This is a pedantic point.  It could be that its not important to include the count in this article.DavidRF (talk) 16:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
