thread_title:  Major problem with the article 

message: It really does not talk about his musical style. It talks about who he plays with and what types of music he champions. One could do all that regardless of the style.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.44.133 (talk) 23:14, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: We would need a cited source for anything about Ax's musical style.  Other articles dealing with pianists which have dealt with their "styles" have had the content deleted unless backed up by a solid source.  Ax's playing is not idiosyncratic like Richter's or Horowitz', so it might be hard to find a source.  I'll check Dubal.MisterCSharp (talk) 13:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pronunciation? 

message: I have tweaked the opening paragraph so it comforms the Wikipedia manual of style:
The opening paragraph should state:
#Name(s) and title(s), if any (see, for instance, also Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility));
#Dates of birth and death, if known (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates of birth and death);
#Context (location, nationality, or ethnicity);
##In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national (according to each nationality law of the countries), or was a citizen when the person became notable.
##Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability.
#What the person did;
#Why the person is significant.

thread_title: Opening Paragraph

message: I removed the bit in the lead ("He is considered one of the best known concert pianists of the late-20th/early-21st century.") which for a start is too indirect. Who is it who considers that (everyone?) considers that he is famous? The source cited was some local American report saying "Famous", so that people who have never heard of him would know they ought to have. While he is a well-known name to anyone like me who is interested in current performers of classical music, "one of the best known" suggest he would be in the top five names, which I very much doubt. For a source to support him being well-known world-wide, you would need, um, what? Clippings from newspapers? Adverts from artist agencies? Try googling for [emanuel ax performing london], and pick one if you think this sort of fact really needs a "source". Imaginatorium (talk) 13:04, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: See "Where was he born?" above. When he was born (1949), the city known in Polish as Lvov was in the USSR. So he cannot have been born in Poland. If he himself says so, well, who knows what it means? Imaginatorium (talk) 03:38, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
