Talk:Leopold Auer

message: According to a biography by the International Suzuki Association, Suzuki's teachers were Ko Ando in Tokyo and Karl Klingler in Berlin. Neither this biography nor the Wikipedia article on  Shinichi Suzuki mentions Auer as another teacher. I was surprised to see that this claim has been in the article for over a year now, originally posted by one-time editor 71.178.53.146. The claim was also never sited. Based on careful examination of the claim, I have determined it false and removed it.

thread_title:  Education of Shinichi Suzuki 

message: This article is poor. It is florid, biased, badly organized, conversational in tone, etc. It reads like a mythology, not an objective summation of good research. I am bummed. Auer deserves better than this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.228.226 (talk) 04:41, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revision Needed 

message: I think the word "pupil" meaning student is unidiomatic in American English now, perhaps not British? The List of music students by teacher, important for Auer, illustrates usage of "student" in the desired sense I think. Macmarl (talk) 00:12, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  pupils vs. students 

message: These two are said to have been students of Auer, but without  so apparently there may not be WP articles about them? Also, the
Oxford Companion to Music does not mention either of them. Since Auer had such outstanding students, it seems there is no need
to mention these? I will try Googling their names. Marlindale (talk) 22:36, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paul Stassevich and Sasha Lasserson 

message: P. 414 in the book, about Auer, seems close to some passages in the article. I will look for other more independent references. Marlindale (talk) 03:02, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Schwarz book 

message: In adding this as a source, I mistakenly called it Joachim's in the edit summary. Marlindale (talk) 00:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Auer textbook 

message: This is said of five composers, specifically Tchaikovsky, whose most famous ballets include The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. I couldn't find so far any verification, so I plan to insert "citation needed". Marlindale (talk) 22:11, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Violin solos in ballet scores written especially for Auer's talents? 

message: According to a figure caption in the RMS article, the Quartet included besides Auer, first violin, in the 1880s, Wilhelm Zacharias Pickel (second violin), Hieronymus Weickmann (viola), and Aleksandr Verzhbilovich (cello). I will see if I can find more about the latter three members. Marlindale (talk) 21:09, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Russian Musical Society]] string quartet 

message: There is a concerto in E-flat among  three Auer (1912) selected for inclusion, but according to more recent research, footnoted in List of compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is not really by Mozart. So I think we do not want to repeat the outdated information. Marlindale (talk) 23:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mozart violin concertos 

message: Auer's autobiography, My Long Life in Music, has an index with many listings of several composers (Brahms, Glazounoff, Glinka, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Wagner) and violinists (Elman, Heifetz, Joachim, Kreisler, Paganini) but no listings of Bach, Handel, Haydn, nor Mozart; his other book "Violin Master Works..." extensively mentions Bach, Handel, and Mozart. Marlindale (talk) 22:55, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Autobio - mentions of composers? 

message: This article had a "Refimprove" since November 2012. About one non-minor edit per day has been made this month, February 2017. There were not so many edits in October or November 2016. Auer wrote just 3 books, one of them being his autobiography My Long Life in Music, "Auer 1923", already appearing in a lot of citations. I suppose the "Refimprove" can be deleted within a few more months. Marlindale (talk) 22:35, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revising and improving references 

message: Although Auer wrote that the violin and harpsichord sonatas are famous, as of 1925 when he wrote, it seems to me that by now the sonatas and partitas for solo violin are more famous. Marlindale (talk) 23:23, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bach solo violin (and harpsichord) pieces 

message: I did not find an article on her in WP nor in the Oxford Companion to Music. A website Harmonie Autographs and Music Inc., harmonieautographs.com, "LEOPOLD AUER - VIOLINIST", autographed by L. Auer 1925, shows a master class at Chicago Musical College. 
Among the 5 people in the front row are Auer and his second wife Wanda.Marlindale (talk) 22:25, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
