Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments on Johannes Brahms were not added to the bottom of the page.

American String Quartet

Thanks for your interesting addition to the article. I felt, however, that making it a separate section, and putting it immediately after the lead of the article, was a bit of overkill. So I added the quotes to the "Composition" section, and also included a reference to the use of the pentatonic in spirituals. I removed the examples, though. I thought they might be appropriate in the article on spirituals, but not particularly relevant to this article.

Regards, and keep up the good work. --Ravpapa (talk) 06:54, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Stowell and Beethoven Violin Concerto

Hi Marlindale! I just noticed your edit listing Stowell as editor, rather than author, of his book on the Beethoven Violin Concerto. I have just double-checked my copy and I can't see any sign that's the case - there are no other authors listed in the title page, in the preface or in the individual chapter headings. So I just wanted to check if you had some other reason for thinking that's the case...? Thanks, The Land (talk) 09:17, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Bach

Thank you for adding to Bach. Please always mention a citation, even for facts that you think everybody knows, as his youngest son. I also am not happy with writing about his future profession and style when he is is born, in an article about a man where we don't have room for soooo many other things. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:47, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Of the composer sons I decided to mention only CPE Bach in the Lead. I wanted to mention JC Bach somewhere. At first I thought I would put him in Legacy but I didn't see a good opportunity there. I tried to put him in chronologically by his date of birth, although I also was not comfortable with that. But I have Spitta to consult for a citation. I will try to revise while avoiding too much length. Marlindale (talk) 06:09, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

In the lead of the JC Bach article it's said he influenced Mozart's concerto style. Important if so? But I don't suggest repeating that in the JS Bach article. Spitta conveys "youngest son" by calling him the "Benjamin" of the family, a known expression which I think we don't need to get into. Marlindale (talk) 06:38, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

DRN

You apparently filed two requests for dispute resolution about Johann Sebastian Bach. Both requests were malformed. Don't worry; it is easy to malform a request for dispute resolution, because they are complicated. I deleted the second request, which had the composer's name misspelled. I removed the malformed links from the first request. However, you failed to notify the other editors of the filing. As a result, the request can't be opened until you notify them and they agree. Post {{DRN-notice}} on their talk pages. Also, there had been a question about the status of an RFC. Some editors thought that it was No Consensus. Some thought that it was open. Both were right. I have closed it as No Consensus. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:08, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Brahms

I was surprised you threw in the towel so quickly. Geiringer cites this "one piece" not as an exception, but as an example, one among many, many, that confirm the integral nature of contrapuntal writing in Brahms's style. You (and Geiringer, Swafford, and just about every other scholar who has written about Brahms) are right, and Tony, despite his authoritative (should I say supercillious?) tone, is wrong.

Nadia Boulanger

Hi there - noted your recent edit to the NB article, changing references from her surname to her given name. Unless I'm mistaken, MOS:SURNAME asks for subsequent references to be surname only? Just wanted to check with you in case I'm mistaken. Kind regards, pgbrown (talk)

Thanks for your comment. Male composers are usually referred to by their surnames, such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. But I think female ones seem better referred to by their given names, for example Clara Schumann as Clara, Amy Beach as Amy, Nadia Boulanger as Nadia, Lili Boulanger as Lili. Marlindale (talk) 18:25, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

MOS:SURNAME does not differentiate between genders and I'm not sure they should be handled any differently (except in the case of Clara Schumann, when the use of her surname would cause confusion with her husband, so first names would make sense for both of them), but I'm not going to argue the point. All the best, pgbrown (talk) 13:21, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Amy Beach, pianist and composer, was a married name (Amy Marcy Cheney Beach), married to a physician, Dr. H. H. A. Beach. Marlindale (talk) 16:04, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
