Talk:Dimitri Mitropoulos

message: Two things here don't quite make sense: the article says DM introduced many works by Mahler...I assume this means he introduced them in the US? Also, did he die in the middle of an actual rehearsal of Mahler 3 in Milan, or is it just that he was in Milan preparing the performances and died before the performances took place? I can't fix these because I don't know the answers but I'm hoping someone could just check and clarify those points. Thanks in advance! --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 15:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, let’s discuss.
*The birthdate issue is not a problem for anyone who understands the Gregorian vs. Julian calendars.  They were 12 days apart between 1 March 1800 and 1 March 1900.  Since then they've been 13 days apart.  But Mitropoulous was born in 1896, when they were 12 days apart.  18 February 1896 (Julian) + 12 days = 1 March 1896 (Gregorian).  Why do we need to maintain there’s some “discrepancy” in the sources when the matter is very simply explained?  And what’s this “Neo-Julian calendar”?  Greece has used the Gregorian calendar since 1923 for civil purposes.  The Greek Orthodox Church uses the Revised Julian calendar (is this the same thing as the Neo-Julian calendar?), but that’s irrelevant to this article.  I put this into a footnote because it's of that level of magnitude.  It certainly wasn't deleted, just re-worded.
*Do we really need to show the address of his father’s shop?  This was the only thing I deleted.
*When we talk about his non-marriage and his homosexuality, this is obviously about his personal life, not his musical career, so we don’t need to say “In his personal life”.  But it does belong close to the end, not interspersed with material about his conducting/recording career.  If we want to make a visible distinction between his professional career and his personal life, the heading “Personal life” might be appropriate.  
*Any other changes I made were non-contentious things like linking composer’s names, putting opera titles into italics, etc.  --  JackofOz (talk) 02:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This seems well-reasoned. I don't know why the address was removed without comment, however, as it did not negatively affect the article. Badagnani (talk) 04:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  If the address is the only sticking point, I'm happy to concede.  I'll restore the edit, with the address included.  --  JackofOz (talk) 13:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: My recent edit downplaying the birthdate issue et al

message: "Mitropoulos premiered many contemporary works. The interpretation of Cemal Reşit Rey's Concerto chromatique with Orchestre de Paris is one of them." is pure nonsense. DM died seven years before the Orchestre de Paris was founded.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.95.223.60 (talk) 12:39, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
