Talk:List of Classical-era composers

message: I came to WP this time to see where Mondonville fits re baroque->classical -- but not much luck: He's in the baroque WP category but it's not mentioned in his article and he's not on the sub-period lists. If anyone knows more, i and others would appreciate something more detailed being added. (Posted to his article and Talk:List_of_Baroque_composers and Talk:List_of_Classical_era_composers.)

thread_title:  Mondonville? 

message: This file (not this talk file, the other file) is organized in sections. The inclusion into a given section is determined by the date of birth. And on top of that the sections are ordered from the earliest to the latest dates of birth within that section. Great. And what do you do if the date of birth is unknown? Not include the guy in the file? His fault? He should have watched over his birth certificate better? I included Francesco Zappa, active 1763-1788, into the 1710-1730 section, and I put him with the composers born around 1730, that is at the very end of that section, because that seemed to me to be the most likely. Any of these choices is debatable and I do not know a "reliable source" that says anything about the most likely year of birth. Without a "reliable source" putting him into any section would be just as shaky. So what can you do? This being Wikipedia is there an "official policy" on such matters? Should we argue for the next year if he should go say with the 1730-1750 bunch or the before 1710 crowd, or maybe let him stay where he is but move him with composers born ca. 1720? Looking forward to some fun. Signed: Basemetal (write to me here) 06:56, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I am wondering if it is not time for a major cleanup of this list? 
I don´t know enough to say who belongs where, but it seems to me there are a lot of baroque composers here.
Do they all really have to do with the transition to the classical era? It is very confusing for somebody like me who wants to learn more. 21:39, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should baroque composers really be listed here? 

message: * Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762)
* Johann Adolf Hasse (1699-1783)
* Giovanni Battista Sammartini (1700-1775)
* Franz Krommer (1759–1831)
* Luigi Cherubini (1760–1842)
* Franz Xaver Süssmayr (1766–1803)
* Friedrich Kuhlau (1786–1832)
* Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791–1864)
* Ignaz Moscheles
* Fromental Halévy (1799–1862)
I attend 100+ classical concerts a year and listen to an hour or more of classical music on radio per day, and the only name of these I recognize is Cherubini, but I can't name a piece by him. My standard for bolding would be whether someone such as myself can name or hum a couple of pieces by the composer. I will confess to limited knowledge of exclusively operatic and choral composers, and maybe some of these fall in those categories.Tetsuo (talk) 01:33, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: They are very famous composers. For example both Hasse and Meyerbeer are two important composers in the opera history and Sammartini is one of the earliest composers of symphonies and an important composer for the development of symphonies. This list have been a big mess for several years and is in need of a major clean up. 15:47, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Composers who maybe shouldn't be in bold? I presume '''bold''' means very famous.

message: Which composers are honoured by having their names in bold. The page doesn't state the criteria at all, let alone provide some evidence. Right now it has no more meaning than the author's personal preferences (which perhaps is what it is).
Perhaps a good criteria would be "composers who have more than 50 recordings of their works listed on say prestoclassical.co.uk. Thus Richard Leveridge (1670-1758) would not be in bold as he only has 2 recordings there (https://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/classical/composers/1199--leveridge). Whereas Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) would be listed as he has far more than 50 (https://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/classical/composers/981--hummel-j)
This would reflect current interest in the works of that composer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boiledspaghetti (talk • contribs) 14:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: In English, however, Classicism "" and "". Classical music and the Classical period are unrelated to those ideas, despite the (poorly sourced) 1st section there. Searching for  classicism in music returns nothing. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:11, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
