Talk:Nikos Skalkottas

message: Was Skalkottas born in 1901 or in 1904? Quite a few sources give the latter. Schissel : bowl listen 19:47, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
:Slonimsky has a birth date of 8 March 1904.  I certainly believe the year is correct.  
:But I'm not sure about the day.  The Friends of Skalkottas website says his OS birth date was 8 March, which equates to 21 March NS.  But the 8 March quoted by Slonimsky is supposedly NS, having been converted from 24 February OS.  They can't both be right.  It wouldn't be the first time an official website has blundered with its subject's birth date.  Maybe they just assumed 8 March was OS and made the conversion.  But I have caught Slonimsky out in a small handful of errors, so maybe this is another.  I guess only a birth certificate would settle it.  JackofOz 01:38, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

message: How is he a member of the Second Viennese School? Hyacinth (talk) 02:28, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Prolly on the basis of the articles titled "Second Viennese School" in the New Grove and Oxford Dictionary of Music. Both are anonymous and probably written by the same person (possibly Paul Griffiths?). The former says, "sometimes understood more broadly to include Schoenberg’s other Viennese students of the period before World War I (such as Wellesz, Jalowetz, Karl Horwitz and Erwin Stein) and even composers who studied later with Schoenberg in Berlin (such as Skalkottas)"; the latter article says, "usually understood to mean the group of composers who worked in Vienna (and Berlin) between 1910 and 1930 under the moral leadership of Schoenberg (e.g. Berg, Webern, Skalkottas)". Since these are general reference books, presumably there are deeper sources for this assertion, but the New Grove article by John Thornley on Skalkottas stops just short of calling him a "member" of the School, though it does mention his four years of study with Schoenberg in Berlin, and describes him as a "link between the Second Viennese, Busoni and Stravinsky schools". If you think it will help, I can check Stephan's "Wiener Schule" article in the new MGG, but that will require a trip to the library tomorrow.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 04:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I have checked MGG2 and Rudolf Stephan's "Wiener Schule" article does indeed name Skalkottas (along with Winfried Zillig, Viktor Ullmann, Norbert von Hannenheim, and Roberto Gerhard) amongst the "zahlreichen weiterer Schüler Schönbergs" who are sometimes included under the umbrella term. I shall add this information, and this very full source, to the Viennese School article, if it is not already there.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 22:24, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

message: People, Khreshatyk is a name of Kyiv's main street, not of a whole area. I'm not sure how to name the entire area since the street is situated right between two historical areas.

Talk:Substantive title

message: The article currently claims that the title "Prince of the United Kingdom" is not substantive, but this doesn't seem right to me. I thought it was an inherited title. (Not sure that's the right term - it's not a specific title, yes, but it's not a style either - maybe "rank" is the applicable word?) I.e. children get it automatically at birth. It's certainly not a "courtesy title", or gained through marriage, which are the two "non-substantive" ways we list for getting a title/rank. Noel (talk) 20:50, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Blast. We seem to have somehow lost an edit I made to this page. I'll have to recreate it. Noel (talk) 01:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Exactly! The title of freiherr (baron), graf (count), herzog (duke) and other continental titles (not only in the Germanic Continental system) are only substantive titles for the head of the family (e.g. The Duke of Bavaria is a substantive title, but Duke Max of Bavaria is not, because it is a "waterfall system" title). Also, substantive titles proper can never include the name of the holder (i.e. the title is the same no matter who inherits it, bringing back to mind HRH The Duke of Bavaria). In this way, Prince(ss) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is non-substantive because it is: 1) not held by the same single person 2) changes depending on the holder's name. --TheThickPlottens (talk) 15:40, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: "Prince of the United Kingdom" not substantive?

message: This article is in need of cleanup. It starts by stating that a substantive title is one gotten through grant or inheritance, as opposed to a courtesy title, or one obtaine by marriage, and then it goes on to state that only titular holders of titles (as in Comte de Clermont or Duke of Leinster ) are substantive, while titles accruing to all members of certain families, including some of the nobles in Europe are not (as in Princess of Belgium, Infante of Spain and Princess of Sweden). Obviously some precisions are in order. This has arisen concerning an AfD discussion regarding Princess Luisa Maria, Archduchess of Austria-Este Some people hold that, as a royal and daughter of some of the most highly titled families of Europe, she's automatically notable, others say nay because the propsed guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability (royalty)(3) specify the titles should be substantive. Regardless of actual outcome, this underlines some weakness in these articles, that specialists should help correcting. --Svartalf 21:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Edits

message: Made the paragraph a little more clear, "covered" doesn't sound right. I say this because in music, covered normally means a band/artist doing a new version of an already existing song. Also the last sentence sounded like it was referring to the B-side at first, despite it being the article for "No Class". So I had to look, and see, and saw it was on the album, however, only on the reissued versions (according to the wiki article!). That being the B-side, as obviously the single is. Anyway, that is all. Other singles have "covered with (B-side's)" in them as well. Baseballfan 03:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The image in the stained glass window in the top of the dome is that of the State Seal used prior to 1868 when the present Seal was adopted. The words "State Sovereignty, National Union", which is Illinois's State Motto, appear on a ribbon or banner held in an eagle's beak on both State Seals and in the stained glass image. On the old, pre-1868 Seal, the spread-winged eagle faces the viewer, heraldic shield on his chest, and the banner bearing the State Motto appearing horizontally in the upper part of the Seal, clutched in the eagle's beak. On the present State Seal, the various heraldic devices have been re-arranged, the eagle seen in partial silhouette, perched on the shield, wings folded, beak clutching the banner which now runs from lower left to the top center of the Seal. Although the words "National Union" appear above "State Sovereignty" within the circular Seal, reading the banner in the normal left-to-right manner still yields "State Sovereignty, National Union". The Legislature, while approving the new Seal in 1868 did not change the State Motto. The re-design of the Seal was done by the Secretary of State at that time. This information is in "The Handbook of Illinois Government" available from the Illinois Secretary of State's office. The image on the Illinois state flag is that of the State Seal minus the circular border.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NZephyr (talk • contribs) 20:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
