Talk:Wind quintet

message: Why does a "woodwind" quintet contain a non-woodwind horn?  
Also, I was not able to get to the cmich.edu page (the database of quintets). I suspect a broken link.  Thanks Littenberg 14:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Lists are pretty much all this article contains.  Not exactly helpful when you're being made to compose a wind quintet for Music A-level and you have no idea of any key features, and have no access to Youtube to look any up.  Help me out a bit please?  Amzi  (Talk To Me)  10:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are now audio samples of wind quintets, found in articles about their composers (e.g. Anton Reicha). All the wind quintet audio is from the [Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet, whose website has several audio and video files related to wind quintets and other wind ensembles. Graham87 06:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

message: It's not clear how to fix this, but the name of the wind quintet Carion automatically links to the wp article for the word "carrion" :) (the wind quintet isn't even on the disambiguation page, much less the main article that it links to)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.146.94 (talk) 14:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: To properly fix this, someone has to write an article about the Carion Wind Quintet. Graham87 06:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Problem with links

message: I suspect that "Bobesch, Constantin" is a typo for "Bobescu, Constantin". There is certainly a composer of the latter name. Could someone with access to the relevant source check this out? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 13:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, and the date "1970" is a typo for "1958" (as a matter of fact, the score was only first published in 1970, twelve years after composition). Also, since this page seems to favour original-language titles ("Fúvósötös" instead of "Wind Quintet", for works by Hungarian composers, "Quintette" for French composers, etc.), the title really should be given in the original Romanian: Parafrază pe motivul "Horei Staccato". I shall attend to this immediately.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bobesch, Constantin ? 

message: Another puzzling one. It's spelled wrong anyway, as it's been given as V-A-I-J-E-A-N. Could it be a reference to Paul Juon? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 16:51, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: On reflection I think it's probably this choreographer, so I've just corrected the spelling. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 20:09, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Or even Victor Hugo? ;-) Well, the published score (Portland, OR: Editions VIENTO, 2000) of the Dance Suite (1955) gives his name only as "Paul Valjean". He is a mysterious figure, though. A number of wind quintets list him in their programmes as an American, but when I look for recordings of other pieces, I find mostly Danish children's-theatre works (a TV-ballet titled Tobias og englen [Tobias and the Angel], Gåsemors eventyr om Den bestøvlede kat [Gåsemor's Fairytale 'Puss in Boots'], etc.). There could be two of him, of course (not to mention the fictional one).—Jerome Kohl (talk) 20:20, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  VaIjean, Paul ? 

message: Why the distinction between composers of wind quintets and "notable wind quintet repertoire?" Who decides which quintets are notable? And is a list of composers with no works helpful to anyone? I notice that in the 18th and 19th century lists, there is at least a comment on a composer's output, but there are no comments in the 20th and 21st century lists. If one compares this article to the articles on Brass Quintets (Brass quintet repertoire), where the works are listed with the composers and String Quartets (List of string quartet composers), where all compositions are mentioned with dates and links where appropriate, it seems that this article could be better organized and more helpful to the reader seeking comprehensive wind quintet repertoire.

replies: text: I couldn't agree more. Having two separate lists like this is inefficient and confusing to the reader (not to mention editors). There is absolutely no criterion offered for notability, unless it is "any wind quintet anybody can come up with". I see no reason why the composer and quintets list should not be merged. As to the issue of notability, it might be draconian here, but one criterion often used  in such cases is whether the item has an article on Wikipedia—in other words, a "no red links" policy. This is used, for example, in List of flautists, and the various composer lists. The List of composers by name is perhaps the most liberal in this respect, in accepting names that have an article on any Wikipedia, not just the English one. Another ridiculous problem with the list of quintets is the insistence on retaining foreign-language names for generic quintets, and then translating them (e.g., Fúvósötös [Wind Quintet], Bläserquintett [Wind Quintet]). I don't find a specific prohibition of this on WP:NCM or the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music, but it is certainly not normal practice in music writing generally. I do not mean true titles, of course, though even a few of those are a bit marginal, such as the very first entry, "Öt könnyű tánc [Five Easy Dances]". Of course, a great many of these will disappear if a stricter basis for inclusion is adopted.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 01:59, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
