Adorno
A disproportinate amount of space is given to Adorno's criticism. This is not an article about Adorno. This subject should be examined in a separate article.Hammerdrill (talk) 21:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Gershwin
Damrosch's work with Gershwin seems to be one his key contributions to world culture. How did he happen to be the key person at those key moments in history? The background and details of that deserve an extended discussion here, in my opinion. -- ResearcherQ (talk) 03:39, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Copland
It might be worth noting in the article that Damrosch also conducted the premiere performance of Aaron Copland's Symphony for Organ and Orchestra, whcih was his first major orchestral piece as well as the American debut of his mentor, Nadia Boulanger. 49oxen (talk) 20:04, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
