Talk:Harrison Birtwistle

message: There is not mention of the influence of Eric Saties apparently when he heard Satie's (1888) Gymnopedies and realised that they could be played in any order... He described the experience as enabling a profound shift in this thinking on how it was possible to compose music. Is this recorded in any interview?

message: Birtwistle is of less importance than Nyman? How was that result derived -- from relative sales? -- Hoary (talk) 06:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nyman is no slouch (just a different style), but Birtwistle is undoubtedly one of the very top world composers, and one of the two top UK composers. Badagnani (talk) 06:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I like Punch and Judy AND Nyman equally (though you're right, there's no comparison between Rodenbach and Miller Lite ;). Like Glass and Reich, some of Nyman's works (notably the earlier ones) are better than others. Badagnani (talk) 06:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles.  This article is barely Start-class; it contains only the barest sketch of the subject's life (in spite of having sources that presumably contain more information).  More of my review is on the comments page; questions and comments should be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 14:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it "Sir Harrison Birtwistle" (Wi-en) or "Sir Harrison Paul Birtwistle, CH" (Wi-de)? If we stick with the first form (leaving out CH in the first line) but his middle name is verifiably Paul, shouldn't this be mentioned in the article, as is (... used to be) typical of Wikipedia biography articles?

replies: text: The Oxford Dictionary of Music (1997 reprint), which I happen to have to hand, calls him "Birtwistle, (Sir) Harrison (Paul)". I agree that for consistency with other biographical articles we should include the middle name. --Deskford (talk) 11:25, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
