message: Removal of citation tags undone: I entered a ref for date of death from Der Standard which on 23 Nov stated that it was on the 'vergangenen Freitag' (last Friday), or 20 Nov http://derstandard.at/1256745428349/Haydn-Forscher-H-C-Robbins-Landon-ist-tot , article timed at 12.01. However, another article from Der Standard timed at 12.18 omits this http://derstandard.at/1256745430555/Haydn-Forscher-H-C-Robbins-Landon-gestorben . Other obits either omit or say it was 'at the weekend' (Die Presse http://diepresse.com/home/kultur/klassik/523696/index.do?_vl_backlink=/home/kultur/klassik/index.do ). No obit as yet from the English language press which may confirm. Ioan_Dyfrig (talk) 08:55, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

message: It would be appropriate to put the information here that all of Landon's early editions of Haydn's music were actually done by his wife Christa Landon.--88.117.74.145 (talk) 06:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Christa Landon's contribution 

message: I often see this musicologist referred to as "Robbins Landon," as if it is a compound last name, like Vaughan Williams.  But the practice is inconsistent.  Can anyone shed light on this?  76.169.154.92 (talk) 17:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: This is one of those quite frequent cases where strict correctness is trumped in practice by a common misapprehension. Other examples are BonarLaw and D'OylyCarte – both often wrongly thought to be double barrelled surnames. In the present case there is no doubt that the man's surname was just Landon. His wife was Christa Landon, not Christa Robbins Landon, whereas Mrs Vaughan Williams was Ursula Vaughan Williams. Tim riley (talk) 08:38, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
