Talk:Frederic Rzewski

message: Comment moved from the main article(This is the same comment as found on Jenny Lin's Website:
I first came across the term "Copyleft" in "Le Monde Diplomatique" about two years ago and found the idea intriguing. It seems to originate in the world of software, but clearly has implications in every area of "spiritual property." 
But here is how I understand it, in a nutshell: anyone can copy my music (those pieces that are not already published, that is) as long as they identify the composer, don't claim authorship themselves, and allow others freely to make copies of their copies. 
I think that this is the best way for the music to get around. I don't think publishers are very useful in this, and may even make it more difficult; and I don't particularly want to be a publisher myself. 
If anyone does wish to get a score, they can get in touch with my manager, Esther Freifeld ( egf.eprc@systechconsult.com), who will send the material at cost (copying, mailing, her time), or (preferably) will direct them to someone in their neighborhood who already has a copy. 
And anyone who (like Jenny Lin) wants to make the music available through the internet or other media can do so also.

: Based on this note I'm planning to do some typeset versions of some works. I then put them as pdf on the web. Maybe I will also do a recording of some of his work and give it available for free download. helohe 09:23, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The Copyleft

message: I've removed the catalog of works and the bulk of the discography section.  There were copied from this page.  The permissions provided on this page are not clear on derivative works.  In particular, the phrase "for legitimate purposes" isn't very specific as to what is meant. -- Whpq (talk) 02:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Catalog of works and Discography sections

message: I see under the first subject header a pronunciation for Rzewski's last name, but it is not in IPA, like Wikipedia normally would be.  I was hoping someone could update that.  --159.118.223.177 (talk) 21:55, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: I don't see any mention here of Steve Reich or anyone associated with him, but it's quite striking how much Coming Together sounds like something Steve Reich might have written precisely at this time. Even the title Coming Together strongly evokes the title of Reich's sixties tape piece Come Out. TheScotch (talk) 23:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

message: His death was just announced here, before it was immediately reverted. For what it's worth: the news of his death does circulate on Twitter, though I haven't been able to retrieve a reliable source yet. Steinbach (talk) 12:46, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: We need a reliable source before it can be included here, and if a source is found he should be removed from the "living people" categories too. --188.30.22.23 (talk) 13:24, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

text: I'm looking for credible sources, and some are quoting Wikipedia as their source. We could end up going round in circles. --188.30.22.23 (talk) 13:47, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I know. I'm a long time Wikipedian. I'm just saying: take this seriously and look for sources. Steinbach (talk) 14:14, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
