Talk:Arcangelo Corelli

message: He was born at Fusignano, in the current-day province of Ravenna, and little is known about his life.
This seems inaccurate. Did they mean to say little is known about his early life?  From the rest of the article, we are pretty clear about his movements.  User:FeanorStar7
"...it is said that he refused to play, as impossible, a passage which extended to A in altissimo...". I know Corelli made limited use of the violin's capabilies, but I find it highly unlikely that he would find such a range as IMPOSSIBLE to play considering his renowned technical prowess and status of violin playing in Italy during that time. It seems like a historical exaggeration to me. Regardless, I don't think it's biographically relevant, and in it's questionable nature, I would like to see it removed. Can any reliable sources be cited to strengthen its case? Sicilianmandolin
I'd like to see the story removed. It sounds apocryphal. Maybe he didn't write for higher up the neck because so many violinists can't sound in tune without overdoing the vibrato.
Anyway, my comment is about the word "mannerly" in the second-to-last paragraph. "Mannerly" means polite or courteous, and doesn't convey any information when applied to music. "Mannerly" music? Especially with the next comment about stretching the rules. Having listened to Corelli, I think the author of the article is trying to say that the accompaniment is supportive and not distracting - doesn't get in the way, is "laid back" - but the word "mannerly" doesn't convey this well. I can't think of a word to replace it, but I'm suggesting that that sentence needs some work.77Mike77 (talk) 04:14, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I´m not competent to contribute, but Corelli is an important figure in the history of music and it is sad that the wiki article is a bit short. Compromiso (talk) 17:51, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The article needs more information emphasizing on his significance for the Baroque Era and citations regarding the music-theoretical analysis of his work. Omnipaedista (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article begins with five different ways to pronounce the subject's name. Is this necessary? Is it really that difficult to figure out how to say his name? All those extra ways to pronounce it and the references for them just clutter up the opening sentence. ONE pronunciation is sufficient. Many, if not most, biographical articles don't even have one pronunciation given, let alone five! MusicTree3 (talk) 16:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Multiple Pronunciations Unnecessary 

message: Most of the entry sounds as though it were translated from another language.  This, for example: “also crystallizing models of wide influence .”  I have no idea what that means.
There are also extremely long run-on sentences that seem to lose their way. 
I’m am grateful for the information presented, but wish it were clearer. 2600:6C5D:41F0:560:CD6D:FB00:27AD:C8D6 (talk) 05:45, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
