Talk:Zbigniew Preisner

message: I've deleted the short section headed 'Nomenclature' in the main article; this is what it said:
"The Song for the Unification of Europe (1993) heard in Blue is incorrectly called a "concerto" in some English translations of the screenplay. A concerto is an instrumental piece; Preisner's Song, very obviously, incorporates singers."
I think we can delete this for the following reasons: (1) it's minor and picky; (2) It isn't just in the English translations, it's in the French dialogue - the journalist who visits her in hospital refers to it as 'Le concert' (=concerto, in French); (3) It's not true that you can't have a voice or voices in a concerto. On this last point, there are at least two kinds of concerto that might use voices - (a), orchestral concertos which incorporate voices at some point. Examples: Busoni's Piano Concerto (male chorus in finale); Leonard Bernstein's Concerto for Orchestra (male soloist in finale); Alan Ridout's Cello Concerto No.2 (scored for solo cello and an orchestra made up of wordless voices). (b) There is a tradition of 'sacred concertos' largely or exclusively for voices, especially strong in Russian music - eg the choral concertos of Bortniansky (this tradition has been revived by Alfred Schnittke in his Choir Concerto). When watching 3 Colours: Blue I understand the Song for the Unification of Europe to be a modern example of this sacred concerto tradition. Cenedi (talk) 12:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello. This edit changes  to just  and I've reverted it for discussion here.  is how it is spelt in the reference following this text, which seems, as a start, like a reason for retention. Further, I am aware that there have been historical uncertainties in the spelling of names, and this is perhaps one. I did a Google search, probably very clumsily, trying to compare usage whilst excluding references to Wikipedia and direct quotations from this article. I freely confess that I am a bit rubbish at this so please feel free to redo my attempt, but I got about 1000 hits for  and about 20,000 hits for Blümelmore if I drop the umlaut but frankly I have no idea what I am doing there so I won't. At the very least I feel that there are plenty of sources saying , so we should not just drop it without comment as if it is a simple misspelling. Happy to discuss.

replies: text: Because the ref which backs up the statement shows it that way? This is why I said, just above here, " is how it is spelt in the reference following this text, which seems, as a start, like a reason for retention." So it seems to me to be weird to refer without comment to a contradictory spelling. Since there seems to be a spelling dispute over the poor bloke, why not acknowledge it? We are surely not that short of server space. However, I do not have the energy to argue with you so if you feel that committed to its disappearance please feel free to do as you like with it.

message: Isn't the cornet more closely related to a bugle (basically a bugle with valves) than it is to either type of trumpet? The distinction between trumpets and bugles is the bore (trumpets have cylindrical bores while bugles have conical bores). Thus, a bugle is to a cornet as a natural trumpet is to a valved trumpet. — al-Shimoni (talk) 10:11, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I presume DNA is taken from a sample of a body part. Is it compared with a sample known to come from the putative person, before they died? Or is a comparison made against samples from blood relatives? If the latter, what are the principles involved?  Is the situation the same as in a paternity test?  Thincat 14:53, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure the middle horn is just a varient on the Eb tenor horn and not a Baritone. A baritone horn is the same size as a euphonium but with different piping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GirlDoingMaths (talk • contribs) 21:44, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is labelled correctly; the middle horn is a baritone in B♭ - you can tell, the tubing on each of the three valves are the same lengths as the euphonium on the right, and both are shorter than the E♭ tenor horn on the left. — Jon (talk) 11:57, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

text: Agreeing with @Jonathanischoice here. One of the problems is that saxhorn/tuba family terminology is very messy and suffers from regional variants. See for example the terminology bit in Cliff Bevan's book which is enough to make you wake up screaming in the night. The smaller-looking saxhorn (clarification:  than the euph on the right, I meant ... it is of course the larger of the two saxhorns here, sorry!) in the middle is, yes really, a B♭ horn playing in the same register as the euph ... it just looks a h*ll of a lot different because it is not a baby tuba with huge wide pipes, but it does have the same overall length and all that goes with it in proportion, as Jon rightly points out. It is in no way the higher E♭ instrument that we might call a tenor or alto horn. In some necks of the woods the terms used here are absolutely spot on, whereas in others there is a truly horrible confusion around the word  which, in environments where the middle one pictured here is not well-known, sometimes just means a three-valve euphonium. I find this usage very difficult but I do see how it gets used! We can't control the language that tightly though when my government comes to power we will try (goak here).

I don't know much more about this, it was just that the title seemed odd to me, as no king would include just a single peripheral region in his official title.

replies: text: I don't know the answer. However, the article says changes occurred in early 1957. The 1957 US model year must include 1 Jan 1957 and would cover mid-1956 to mid-1957. So a car built in late 1957 or very early 1957 (ie before the changes in early 1957) would be called a 1957 model year by an American and a car built slightly later (mid-1957 to mid-1958) would be called a 1958 model year. This could be a possible reason for the dating issue.  Stepho  talk  10:00, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Inverse (logic)

message: The article read,
:the inverse of a conditional cannot be inferred from the conditional. For example, "If it's not raining, then Sam will not meet Jack at the movies" cannot be inferred from "If it's raining, then Sam will meet Jack at the movies." It could easily be the case that Sam and Jack are attending the movies no matter the weather.
This is a poor example, because to suggest that they will attend the movies no matter the weather makes the "if it's raining" clause irrelevant and arguably misleading.  No one would include that clause if they intend to attend no matter the weather. 
Explaining that the inference is not valid because additional conditions might be imposed on the "not raining" case – as I just did – is a much better example. Novel compound (talk) 17:34, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

The paragraphs following should have a separate section because they start going into the specifics of the field when the first paragraph is only supposed to be a concise summary.
