Talk:Peter and the Wolf

message: This page says Prokofiev returned to Russia in 1933 but the Prokofiev page says 1936. It needs to be harmonised.
::I think what the page means is that Prokofiev had written the song in 1936, after he had returned to Russia in 1933.-PlasmaDragon 22:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the story?  Shouldn't we provide a summary of what the story is about? --69.216.131.46 01:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: story

message: How do we know that Prokofiev's tongue was in his cheek?  The location of his tongue (i.e. his intent when composing, especially if ironic) is hard to verify and probably a bit a matter of opinion.  If there is a source that says what his intent was, I would like it to be cited.-PlasmaDragon 04:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since it seems like nobody could find a citation, I have now removed the statement in question.-PlasmaDragon 20:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation needed

message: The Related works section recently received additions that were lazily put into a list. This section should be restructured so that each topic reads as a paragraph, or broken into sub-sections for each topic. —scarecroe 19:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have heard before that the lowest note in the cat's part cannot be played on a normal Bb Clarinet, though a quick Googling only shows an apparent mirror of an earlier version of this page. Perhaps this could be verified and added...

replies: text: I can't really speak to the orchestral specifics or notability of your claim, although some narrators mention the clarinet being in a low register during the introduction to the instruments/animals. For example, Basil Rathbone in his 1941 recording   Muaddib (talk) 17:07, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarinet range

message: Two more recordings were just added to the list of Notable Recordings. If the name of the section is to stay, each entry needs to be sourced as to why it's notable. If folks are just going to keep adding their favorite recordings, "Notable" should be dropped with the intention of making that section a Discography. —scarecroe 14:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable recordings

message: Is there a reference for Peter being a scout? It's not apparent from English translations of the narration that I've seen, e.g.

message: The story is in sharp contrast with that of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The lying, cowardly shepherd boy is such a contrast to the brave and truthful Peter.  Das Baz, aka Erudil 02:24, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Another Boy, another Wolf

message: It would be very nice to discuss the original language. This article currently only mentions an English translation. Maybe talk about other language translations as well? I am not familiar with the citation guidelines to know whether this is appropriate, but it would be nice if there were citations for each notable recording.

replies: text: This is the English Wikipedia, so I assume that narrations in other languages are not very notable. The interested reader will find them by visiting the various interwiki links of this article. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:02, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

message: This article has a copyright law section. Per my copyright knowledge, this won't be in the public domain until 2031, and it was only 2012 when the section took place. Any faulty info here?? Georgia guy (talk) 16:06, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not quite sure what your question is. As I understand it, Peter and the Wolf will enter the public domain in the United States indeed in 2031, 95 years after its publication in 1936, and in 2024 in Russia, 70 years after Prokofiev's death in 1953. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:31, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The copyright law section of the article is near the bottom of the article. Please see it. It appears to be saying that foreign works entered the public domain. If Peter and the Wolf is one of these, the article is inconsistent with the way we understand copyright expiration. Georgia guy (talk) 13:07, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm aware of the section Peter and the Wolf#In copyright law in the article. It says that, among many other foreign works, Peter and the Wolf had been in the public domain in the United States but had its copyright restored in January 2012 through Golan v. Holder which confirmed the legality of the 1994 Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). URAA demanded that signatories of the Berne Convention were compelled to apply copyright in their countries for works which were under copyright in the works' country of origin, even if they were not previously under copyright in the signatories' countries. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:00, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: When and why did it enter the public domain early?? The way I understand copyright, it's not supposed to enter the public domain until 2031, as it says in this section of the talk page. Georgia guy (talk) 12:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure why, but according to all the comments during Golan v. Holder, including the judgement itself, it must have. From reading the article about the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, I assume it was PD in the US because there was no copyright agreement between the USSR and the US and/or because of a failure to comply with various copyright formalities. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:32, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

message: It's great that someone has put samples up of each instrument, but honestly they all sound like they're played on a school keyboard and sound really terrible. Could someone find samples of the actual instruments?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:AA7C:1501:A034:9BA0:A46C:8848 (talk) 18:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

message: The text says the first performance was 1936 with the Moscow Phil but the Moscow Phil page says it was founded in 1951.
Any clarification ?
