Talk:Jan Ladislav Dussek

message: In the "Style" section, it says "The evolution of style found in Dussek's piano writing suggests he pursued an independent line of development, one that anticipated but did not influence early Romanticism (somewhat in the manner of Gesualdo)." Fair enough, but...Gesualdo? This is either independent research or it tries to make a point too obscure for all but the most expert reader. I'll remove the final parenthetical phrase...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opus131 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Gesualdo???

message: With a theme that triadic, it strikes me that this is not impressive at all. To be somewhat frank, it smacks of the writing that tends to be given to support the greatness of unsung composers (somehow always in relation to some established composer of the classical canon): I wonder when we will hear not only that Beethoven got the idea from Dussek, but that Dussek also got it from the slow movement of Mozart's KV 467. (After all, we're already changing the meter; why not fiddle with the tempo too?) Mind you, this sort of thing is common enough in published writing about these composers that I am more relieved than anything else that this resemblance is uncited.

Talk:Jan Nepomucen Bobrowicz

message: :Where did the "de" come from?
:This composer appears in the French, German and Polish Wikipedias and in Polski słownik biograficzny as "Jan Nepomucen Bobrowicz"—not "de Bobrowicz".

replies: text: It is true that you find both spellings, with and without the 'de'. It appears to me, though, that the "de" refers to older and more serious sources. Correct me if I am wrong. In Josef Zuth's Handbuch der Laute und Gitarre (Vienna, 1926–8), he is called (in German) 'Johann Nepomuk von Bobrowitz', the 'von' resembling the 'de'. In the bibliographic name listings of the German national library, he is written with 'de': https://portal.dnb.de/opac.htm?method=simpleSearch&cqlMode=true&query=idn%3D119348047. The British Library has three works, of which two are listed with 'de' and one without. The French national library has three items (1980s/90s issues), all without 'de'. Some recent critical editions of his music use the 'de', look here: http://digitalguitarstore.com/print-editions/j-n-de-bobrowicz-selected-works-volume-ii/prod_11.html (and this is co-edited by a Polish musicologist). Most CD recordings of his music do likewise, see https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/Roch-Modrzejewski-Fantaias/hnum/2639855 (by a Polish guitarist). And I see him spelled this way in the repertory of Polish guitarists such as Marcin Dylla: http://www.poloniamusic.com/MarcinDylla.html. But no doubt, you would find many examples of publications and listings without 'de', too. But – if the general consensus here is that the article should be changed back to the former version, I wouldn't object. – Aklein62 (talk) 11:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The article, I think, should be moved back (it shouldn't have been moved in the first place without discussion). While some older sources use de, based on my experience I'd call it an error, introduced by someone who thought it would sound better (historical marketing). This is not an uncommon practice for that era. And anyway, de is French, and he is a Polish composer, who lived in Germany. I see no justification for de, through I think we can mention its used in the lead or in a footnote. I'd go with the most RS bio of him we have quoted, which is the PSB cited by Nn above. If it uses the -de version, so should we. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:25, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

message: "Marcet's association with some of the great thinkers and scientists of the era, such as Faraday,"
When he was 21, Faraday wrote to Sir Humphry Davy, a leading chemist at the time who discovered several of the elements. Faraday was seeking work in a laboratory. He was a journeyman bookbinder and taught himself by reading the books he was binding. He noted in his letter to Davy that his most important readings were "Encyclopedia Britannica" and "Mrs. Marcet's Conversations on Chemistry". Davy interview him and eventually got Faraday a job at the Royal Institution. He remained there his entire life, becoming the director of the lab.WithGLEE (talk) 17:55, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

message: This might apply to Marcet's husband or parents (if they wrote enough), but not to Marcet herself, who spent only three years there without making a mark on its literature.

replies: text: The category « Writers from the Republic of Geneva » is a subcategory of «  People from the Republic of Geneva ». The latter has been coined from the French equivalent page «  Personnalité liée à la République de Genève » and the English translation is not quite correct (It could be «  People (or Personalities) related to the Republic of Geneva », or possibly «  People of the Republic of Geneva »). In any case we shouldn’t be picky concerning the adverb « from », and deny the category to a person strongly related to the Republic. Jane Marcet’s husband  Alexandre was a citizen of the Republic of Geneva when she married him, and she lived with him in Geneva. Sapphorain (talk) 10:25, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Events of only a decade earlier cannot be considered matter for an historical novel.  (Same with Waverly by Scott.)  The whole point of an historical novel is that it reconstructs a people and world from history, not recent current events.  The Scottish Chiefs was probably the earliest historical novel (though I don't have cites).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.35.227.177 (talk) 19:29, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Invented photography on glass? 

message: The task of demolishing the claim that Puhar "invented photography on glass" or "made the first photos on glass" in 1842 (a claim which seemed most probably due to inexpert translation combined with the unfortunate universal tendency to exaggerate credit in accordance with nationalistic pride) is what first drew my attention to Puhar. Anyone familiar with the detailed accounts of pre-1840 photographic experiments which have long been available in books and have now been supplemented by online primary source materials will know that such a claim is in error.
Having come to throw stones, I smashed the false icon but stayed to applaud what it had obscured. Based on the precious little information that can be found online, most of it from one highly partisan Slovene site but apparently in good accord with the contemporary sources noted there, both the man and his exotic process are indeed very remarkable. I have fleshed out the current stub a bit and may return to add a description of the process, and eventually a short biography, if no one else does it.
To the matter at hand: sulfur, rather than silver, is the basis of Puhar's process, and that fact rang a little bell in my head. Sulfur, rather than selenium, was the material used in the early experiments with electrostatic photography that eventually led to the Xerox copier. Was Puhar's process a pioneering instance of electrophotography? One of the contemporary German articles about his work appears to deal with electrical phenomena to some significant extent, but the fraktur and my very rudimentary German have, so far, conspired to deter me from diving into the muck with help from Google Translate and sifting it for information. The results would probably constitute original research in any case. Does anyone know of any study of, or commentary about, this intriguing possibility?

Talk:János Garay

message: John Garay was my great granduncle.  According to his nephew, my grandfather, after the 1848 Revolution John Garay was condemned to live in a hut by the road and beg for food.  No one was permitted to talk with him as Hapsburg spies would ensure they would be murdered for disobeying the Hapsburg punishment.  He died from starvation and cold.

message: Typically, we do not list articles on DAB pages that contain only a portion of the DAB term in the article title.

Do not add links that merely contain part of the page title (where there is no significant risk of confusion)".  For that reason, I am not sure that it is helpful to include on this page references to neighbourhoods or ridings that contain the word "Ottawa" in the name.  The list would quickly start to become unmanageable as it expands to cover other things like Ottawa Senators, Ottawa Hospital, Ottawa International Hockey Festival, etc., and so on.

On DAB (disambiguation) pages, the guideline tells us to avoid listing articles where the disambiguated terms only forms a part of the article title.  One of the reasons for this is to avoid making the DAB page unmanageable, because it could easily contain hundreds of article titles.  Articles that contain the word "Ottawa" in the title, but relate to one of the places called Ottawa that are already on the page, need not be listed.  As for the Otawa in Japan, my own view is that a link should be included on this DAB page, once there is a Wikipedia article on the subject, because a reader searching for that article could easily misspell it as Ottawa and end up here.
