This is my sandbox, used to work on drafts and to store material for future editing. My sandbox is not part of the real Wikipedia and you read it at your peril. :=)

To do

 * Repair
 * Masonry and Magic Flute: mention it, but don't allow the total garbage stuff
 * Mozart's composition method: K. 309, channel Konrad and quote the letter
 * Urtext edition: Rosen, web guy for editor-created error
 * Books you are mining
 * Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia
 * Jones 2009a The Life of Haydn
 * Jones 2009b Oxford composer companions: Haydn
 * Heartz Haydn Mozart Beethoven
 * Stafford, Mozart Myths
 * Wolff, Mozart at the Gateway to his Fortune


 * Haydn
 * The missing bio section: 2nd visit to London


 * Mozart
 * Replace the plagiarized section. This should be high priority.
 * Read it through and fix things.
 * Where did people say his operas are difficult? Deutsch p. 315, the Emperor felt this way.


 * Gottfried van Swieten
 * Haydn wanted to switch librettists for his next oratorio, The Last Judgment
 * His symphony performed in the Augarten.
 * His taking care of Mozart's kids after their father died. To what extent?  Did he renege?


 * Shape note and Sacred Harp
 * See if you can find:
 * O'Brien, James Patrick. 1969. An Experimental Study of the Use of Shape Notes in Developing Sight Singing. Ph.D. dissertation, University of Colorado at Boulder. a followup on Kyme, perhaps providing balance.
 * All those unfinished satellite articles.
 * R. L. Vaughan is unhappy about history and should receive a response.


 * Emanuel Schikaneder
 * 1789: His secret depravity in Regensburg and possibly covert departure.  His reply to the censuring masons. See the book about the published MF libretto for this.
 * His skill as singer


 * Bartolomeo Cristofori and fortepiano
 * Go back to Pollens and use it to source things more thoroughly.
 * Pollens seems to think that Maffei's diagram was accurate for the time
 * Write an article on the piano before Cristofori. Difficult to title it without committing POV!  Source:  Pollens's book.
 * Cristofori was part of the Prince's crew of musicians, it would appear - Pollens


 * Double variation
 * add incipits?
 * Find and read Sisman's book on the topic.


 * article on Rondo variations?
 * e.g. as in Haydn's Gypsy Rondo trio
 * There are quite a few of these, I think.

"The basic instructions are at NMA. In this case, I obtained the volume and page numbers for the scores and the critical reports by a) expanding the list for "Serie IV Orchesterwerke" at NMA; b) opening the scores and critical reports for numbers 62 & 63 (Tänze· Band 1 & 2); c) navigating to their respective title page: the page number is then shown in the browser's address box." -- From Michael Bednarek, 10 March 2009
