message: The conversion curves are often stated for some but not all types of steel. It could be useful to see how different the conversion curves are for different types of materials. Can anyone explain why the conversion curves are different for different types of material ? - Rod57 (talk) 01:57, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  How do conversions for different types of material vary 

message: Brinell values over 450 are not used in industry, the indent is two shallow and difficult to read.  Thus readings of over 600 hardness brinell are fantasy. 
Also(HRB) Rockwell B readings over 100 are also unreliable, the indent is so shallow that accurate and reliable reading is not possible.  
Most rockwell testers are unreliable below HRC 20.
A graph of Vickers 150kg versus the other scales makes sense.  Vickers 150kg scale covers a very large range of hardness. 
The Mohs scale of hardness is so different from the metals hardness scale, that comparison is difficult.
ASTM E18 for rockwell, ASTM E10 for Brinell define the limits of rockwell and brinell testing.

Talk:Maria Galvany

message: See:
:Granada Hoy (26 April 2009). "La diva universal de Pinos Puente"
The article seems very well researched, and points out that 1949 date of death and death place as Rio de Janiero resulted from confusion with a Brazilian singer of the same name. According to Granada Hoy, the "real" Maria Galvany was born on 8 June 1875 and died in Madrid on 3 August 1927. This article needs a lot of work, even without this new information. It has no inline citations, very vague sources, and an unencyclopedic style. Voceditenore (talk) 15:14, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Spanish Baroque literature

message: I am proposing this article for deletion. This is for the following reasons:
# It never cites a single source. Totally unsourced from beginning to end.
# Even in the Bibliography there is not one book on the topic of Spanish Baroque literature.
# The article does not deal with its stated topic. Instead there are little brief histories of some Spanish authors, without saying why or in what way or according to whom these authors are Baroque or wrote Baroque literature. In only two of them does the word “Baroque” even appear, and briefly at that.
# The reason there is no book on Spanish Baroque literature cited is because there isn’t one. (I checked this by putting Spanish Baroque literature and Literatura barroca española into http://worldcat.org.) No book with the words Spanish Baroque literature in its title has ever been published.
# There is a little bit of literature, in the seventeenth century, that can arguably be called Baroque. This article hardly deals with it. (Baroque is a concept from art history, not literature.) To say that Cervantes is Baroque is unhelpful at best, arguably absurd.
# For whatever weight you want to putbon it, perhaps none, I have a Ph.D. in Spanish literature from Brown University. I taught it fot 30 years, and was formerly the editor of the journal of the Cervantes Society of America. (Verify here: https://web.archive.org/web/20060509211104/http://users.ipfw.edu:80/jehle/CERVANTE/csa/bcsas04.htm, inside front cover.)

replies: text: Hi deisenbe, good morrow. I ascertain that you are very knowledgeable on the topic. As stated on its talk page, the article is a translation from es:Literatura española del Barroco.

Talk:Lovisa Augusti

message: I have noticed that questions of this distinction are often asked after on thes articles. The truth is, that up until about the mid 19th century, the distiction among the singers of the opera and the actros of the theatre was not as strict as it became later; both the singers and the actors were expected to sing and act. If singers had dramatic talent, they were expected to act in the theatre; and if actors were able to sing, they were expected to act in operas. Therefore, many of these artists (far from all, however) are known to have been both singers and actors in paralell, although one of these careers strongly dominated. I believe, however, that Augusti was only a singer, though I cannot swear for sure. --85.226.41.66 (talk) 14:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

==Instrumental ariosos?==
The term "arioso" is used for all kinds of derivative arrangements of the sinfonia of BWV 156 or the largo of BWV 1056 but it is not used in the case of BWV 156 and BWV 1056 themselves.

message: Is this a useful term? It doesn't exist in German. According to the Fach system there are two main kinds of singer in Wagner operas: 'Jugendlich Dramatischer Sopran' (for roles like Senta, Elsa etc.) and 'Hochdramatischer Sopran' (Brünnhilde, isolde) etc. --Kleinzach 01:51, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you that Wagner was ideally intended for Bayreuth and therefore the idea that a "Wagnerian soprano" should be endowed with a large voice is wrong. But given that Wagner's operas are generally not staged in an opera house with Bayreuth-like acoustics, a successful "Wagnerian soprano" generally does require a substantial voice.  I have no opinion on whether we should distinguish "Wagnerian" from "dramatic" but maybe it is worth mentioning what the term might mean. Angry bee (talk) 23:35, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Passaggio

message: Hi, that I know, women, like men, have a falsetto overlapping their head voice range. Only falsetto has less energy, closure and amplitude. And they have strohbass as well, as strohbass seems to be a reinforced form of fry (also with a clearer tone). The dinstinction between sexes of this term (flute, flageolet etc) is of an artistic nature and does not concern the physiology of the laryngeal mechanism, which is basically M2 with failed (or incomplete) closure 78.15.218.198 (talk) 02:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. The whole paragraph is inaccurate. Men and Women both can have Vocal fry as well as whistle register and falsetto. Another thing is only the men with very light and high voices can achieve a pure head voice. Lower male voices does not have access to a "pure" head voice, but rather sings in an extremely head dominant mixed voice. Penpaperpencil (Talk) 13:49, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I've added the 'references' tag to the article, particularly because I want to see some.

Talk:Tenore di grazia

message: This passage is unclear in its current form: 
The light French lyric tenor is often confused with the tenore di grazia. Examples of the French tradition of a light, lyrical voice can be found in roles such as George Brown in La dame blanche, Chapelou in Le postillon de Lonjumeau, Nadir in Les pêcheurs de perles, Vincent in Mireille, and Gérald in Lakmé.
It is not clear why there is any difference between the French light lyric voice as in Nadir and the Italian (lirico) leggiero voice that this article is about (aka tenore di grazia). ie this assertion needs clarifying/explaining - what are the qualities of the ideal voice for French light singing that are different from those described in the article?
This earlier version of the text made a little more sense (to me), by saying that in fact a somewhat heavier style is more typical in France, such as Don José:
The French lyric tenor is often confused with the tenore di grazia. The French tradition of a light, lyrical voice developed separately from the Rossinian model, with the result that while most Italian roles are lightweight and graceful, French roles can more frequently be compared with the spinto type. Roles such as Hoffmann in Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann, or Don José in Bizet's Carmen cannot be said to be the same as Lindoro or Nemorino. Orlando098 (talk) 13:45, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
