message: Should the Orchestrations and Transcriptions section be shortened? Doubtless, many arrangements have been made of this very famous piece, but not all of those (and not all of the ones listed in this article) are likely notable.

thread_title:  Orchestrations and Transcriptions 

message: This article is missing some key citations. The quotation often attributed to Ravel concerning criticism of some of the lighter nature that "The dead are sad enough, in their eternal silence" seems to have no source listed. I am not aware of him ever having said or written that in French (or English) anywhere. In short, there is a lot of common liner note stuff in here and not a lot of real information.LGRosenthal (talk) 16:17, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Pavane pour une infante défunte

message: In a newspaper article from the Rocky Mountain News, Sunday, March 8, 1970 (on the anniversary of Ravel's birth) noted Italian-American, conductor-composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco talks of his relationship with Ravel:
"In Prague in the mid 20's, I was entrusted by Mr. Ravel with the first performance in Czechoslovakia of the Alborada del Gracioso and L'enfant et les Sortileses. I saw a great deal of Mr. Ravel in Europe and America. Many hours and days were spent together. To describe him I can think of only two words -- Grand Seigneur.
How, I dared ask him one day: 'Monsieur, how did you ever come to the title for your Pavane pour une Infanta Defunte? He smiled coyly and said, 'Do not be surprised, that title has nothing to do with the composition. I simply liked the sound of those words and I put them there, c'est tout' and we went on talking about something else.  Maurice Ravel never talked about his own music."

thread_title: Untitled

message: Are we sure about "Pavan for a Defunct Infanta" in the lead and the info-box? As we are told by no less an authority than the Rocky Mountain News that Ravel chose the French title for its euphony, mightn't we use an English translation that's a little less clunky? In the body of the text we use the more usual one, "Pavane for a Dead Princess", which I suggest we adopt in the lead. Tim riley talk 11:40, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: English version of title

message: Ravel also stated that the piece depicted a pavane as it would be danced by an infanta found in a painting by Diego Velázquez.
Could he possibly have been referring to Las Meninas? The only other qualified painting in the relevant category would be a smaller painting which has the same princess: Margaret Theresa of Spain
Avindratalk / contribs 04:36, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  The untimely nature of her death (age 21) and other tragedies in her life give credence to this idea. Velasquez also painted an Austrian princess, but Ravel specifically refers to a princess who would have danced in the Spanish court. Case closed? Avindratalk / contribs 04:47, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're probably right that it was Margaret Theresa of Spain he was referring to. Specifying Las Meninas without a reliable source would be a stretch though since he painted her quite a bit. (see his later paintings) Aza24 (talk) 06:42, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

message: It would be really nice to have a citation for this claim.  I've heard it said several times that he collected these tunes himself during a visit to Scotland; the liner notes of the CD I've got say a visit to Britain.  I have no special knowledge beyond this.
Davecat4 (talk) 00:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agree that a citation would be good, particularly since the "fact" is disputed.  Of course, I'm not sure CD liner notes are a strong source, although it depends on who wrote them.  One CD that I'd be inclined to trust would be the one put out by Rachel Barton Pine, because she did a lot of research for it.  I don't have access to it where I am, though.  AlbertBickford (talk) 00:46, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, after a year & more, I've at least added a "citation needed" note.  I don't personally have any resources which would allow me to answer the question with confidence; if I did, I'd just have updated the page in the first place.  (I certainly agree that CD liner notes aren't in themselves a good enough source; hence my raising the question here.)

Talk:Skaterdater

message: (he played the main character) on the "Images of the Week" article.
Subject: Hi from a guy in the movie SkaterDater (1965) Date: Sat, 22 May 2004
Hi. A friend sent me a reference to your short article about the movie SkaterDater. I was the main character (the kid who fell for the girl and was ostracized from the rest of the "gang"). Your article is right on target on just about everything. We ALWAYS skateboarded bare foot and did just about everything else that way too. One minor inaccuracy in the article states that the director (Noel Black) picked us up off the street. Not true. We had a skateboard club called the "Imperials", named for the brand of spray paint we happened to be painting our boards with when the idea of a club struck. We were all entered in the 1965 National Skateboard Championship in Santa Monica, CA. I happened to win, although I and my buddies all agreed that my good friend Gary Hill had out skated me and deserved the trophy. Anyway, Noel Black and his friend Marshall Backlar had just graduated with Master Degrees from UCLA film school and approached us to be in a documentary about skateboarding. Somehow, it evolved into the little 18 minute drama that was Skaterdater.
Anyway, back to the barefoot part of the story...We were all budding surfers and of course that's always done barefoot. In those days, you paddled boards on your knees and as a result, you got huge calluses on the top of your feet and below the kneecaps. These were known as "surf knots" and were a source of pride to the hard core surfers of the day. Going barefoot was both comfortable and allowed one to exhibit the size of one's surf knots!
Thanks to the author and I hope you find this background entertaining!

thread_title:  Area C 

message: The statement in the first paragraph that Hizma is "cut off from the West Bank by settlements" is unsourced, and apparently false. A quick look at Google Maps shows that a left turn onto Route 437 out of Hizma leads to a number of West Bank villages, without the need to pass through any Jewish settlements.

replies: text: This type of web site is not reliable; it is mostly concerned with emphasising Jewish connections and not with academic neutrality. I can identify where the information is coming from.  The stuff about the tribe of Benjamin comes from an identification with (Beth) Azmaveth, which was accepted by Albright and others, but more recently denied by Gibson for lack of archaeological remains from the necessary time period.  The manufacture of stoneware is on more solid ground, though the time period is late second temple and there is no connection to the temple itself. I'll add stuff.

replies: text: That the archipelago extends over 1,010 square kilometres and not the Fasta Åland island itself? Or what did you mean? Besides, however, the 1st and 2nd largest islands of finland, Soisalo and Sääminginsalo are somewhat unclear in the respect if they are islands at all as caan seen from the articles. We are not calling Peloponnesos or Jutland as islands, and Sääminginsalo in same manner is detached from the mainland only by an arificial canal, as can be seen from the article. --Urjanhai (talk) 11:02, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
