thread_title:  Featured sound candidates/William Tell Overture 

message: I think this deserves a little space. There seem to be a number of recordings of the music and the Pas de six is the source for the first movement for Britten's Matinees Musicales which should be mentioned. Any suggestions on where best to fit it in? A section of its own or a mention with the arias or overture?--Peter cohen (talk) 22:40, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As I understand it, now that the arias/recits etc are in the synopsis, we should remove the "Noted arias" section altogether - is that right?  I think you're right about the ballet music - this was after all a key component of these operas (thought I didn't know about the Britten until now).  Perhaps in a (greatly expanded) performance history/recording history section? – Lackingdirection (talk) 23:48, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This looks like a reliable source for the Britten. The movement was very familiar to me but I hadn't realised that it was based on Rossini. I wasn't the only gallery prommer last night to be disconcerted by hearing such a familiar piece in the body of the opera when we thought that only the overture was well-known.--Peter cohen (talk) 23:59, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That does look reliable (and fascinating, to me anyway).  I suppose we could put it into a Tosca-style "Music" section, along with the Overture and a longer discussion of the rest of the music (would take some doing though!)  I think the overture section is a little incongruous - it would be like having a "Nessun Dorma" section near the top of the aforementioned Tosca - but it does deserve special mention... – Lackingdirection (talk) 00:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I've found an image that I think would be great for the Roles section at the V&A site.  As best I can tell from the Wiki guidelines, it should be fine to use as a reproduction of a 19th century original.  The metadata from some images used on the Wikipedia site on the V&A itself would seem to support this.  I was hoping (as a newbie) that someone more familiar with these issues could either confirm, or tell me that I'm completely mistaken, as appropriate!  Thanks in advance, – Lackingdirection (talk) 15:23, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
