Talk:Giovanni Bononcini

message: According to an emphatic entry from 1971 in Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani (Treccani), his name is simply "Giovanni", not "Giovanni Battista" . I would generally tend consider this relatively recent encyclopedic source more reliable than the 1879 entry from The American Cyclopedia currently cited in support of "Giovanni Battista" , or other tertiary sources from that era, such as the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica . His current Grove entry makes no mention of Battista and I can't see any reference to the name by the Bononcini scholar Anthony Ford. The Italian Wikipedia goes with plain "Giovanni". Should we do so too? 86.162.136.32 (talk) 14:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, definitely. And thank you, 86.162.136.32, for improving the article so much! Unfortunately, there are still a lot of articles like this on WP, sourced solely to the these outdated public domain books. It used to be at Giovanni Bononcini. I'm not sure why it was moved in 2006.

message: How come he went to compose music for the Treaty of Aix-La-Chapelle (1748) if he died in 1747? 58.152.33.141 (talk) 13:46, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You're absolutely right. This article was mostly copied from 1911 "reference" books and it shows. He wrote a Te Deum in 1741 in Vienna for the future Emperor Francis I. It was used after Bononcini's death for the 1748 treaty celebrations but was not written for them. Equally absurd is the assertion that after 1748, he went to Venice to compose operas. I'm removing that whole section, which is nonsense. I'll re-add a proper "Final years", properly sourced tomorrow. Voceditenore (talk) 15:56, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Possible link to Giovanni Battista Morgagni's items on “Himetop – The History of medicine topographical database” 

message: The range of Morgagni's scholarship, as evidenced by his references to early and contemporary literature, is astonishing. It has been contended that he was himself not free from prolixity, the besetting sin of the learned; and certainly the form and arrangement of his treatise are such as to make it difficult to use in the present day, notwithstanding that it is well indexed in the original edition, in that of Tissot (3 vols., 4to, Yverdun, 1779), and in more recent editions. It differs from modern treatises insofar as the symptoms determine the order and manner of presenting the anatomical facts.
This passage has been in the article since the beginning, apparently quoted from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica. It seems somewhat out of place in a Wikipedia article, though. if nothing else, the “it has been contended” bit needs a  tag, does it not? :-) -Ahruman (talk) 12:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Giovanni Battista Sammartini

message: We currently show him dying on 17 January, yet I can find very few sources that back this up - this is one of them.
The majority say he died on 15 January – , , , , , .
This even says "He died early in January 1775, his remarkably active life commemorated by a large gathering at a memorial service held on January 16".

thread_title: Death date

message: Currently, the article says that Sammartini's "compositions include 4 operas, about 70 symphonies, ten concertos and some of the earliest chamber music known in the history of western music." I'm no specialist, but the reference to chamber music is, I believe, pure and utter bunk. A couple centuries of fantasias, "In nomines," instrumental dances, etc. and more than a half-century of trio sonatas, solo sonatas, etc. precede him. Is this comment about his contribution to chamber music getting at something inobvious that is merely clumsily stated here? Someone who knows his oeuvre better than me should probably emend. --Nostalgicmodernist (talk) 06:01, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Giuseppe Marc'Antonio Baretti

message: Giuseppe Marc'Antonio Baretti lived in London and Turin, Italy.  He was a friend of Samuel Johnson for some thirty years.  His work reflected the importance of being bilingual as an intellectual and a noble in his time period.  He was cited in Life of Samuel Johnson as Joseph Baretti.  Indeed, after doing a bit of searching on JSTOR which I'm lucky enough to have access to as a college student, I believe that he used this name while living in London.  He used it to identify himself when writing to Johnson in the JSTOR citation below.

Talk:Giuseppe Sammartini

message: kind of perplexed about the Sturm und Drang reference. As a movement, it is supposed to take place later and it has much more romantic flavor.

thread_title: Picture

message: The article states: 
"Although Sammartini wrote in a later Baroque style, he also incorporated many Classical elements.[4] Sammartini was forward thinking as a composer, and even used ideas such as a galant style and Sturm und Drang, (the idea of extreme and stormy emotions).[5] Sammartini had other clearly forward thinking musical trends.[6] An example of this would be the number of movements in some of his concertos and symphonies."
The author has evidently confused and conflated Giuseppe Sammartini with his younger brother, Giovanni Sammartini.
It is the younger brother Giovanni — who outlived the elder brother by 25 years — who is the symphonist, and who is associated with the galant style and with "Sturm and Drang."
Note that the text of the Roy Pascal citation (Pascal, Roy (1952) "The Sturm und Drang Movement") does not refer to any music, musicians, or composers, let alone specifically to either of the Sammartini brothers. As reference material, the Pascal citation is virtually useless in this context.
Note that the Paul Everett reference (Everett, Paul (1994) "Releasing the Energy in Italian Instrumental Music") literally conflates the two brothers by referring to a nonexistent "Giuseppe Battista Sammartini." 
In the "Further Reading" section the Bathia Churgin citation (Churgin, Bathia: "The Symphonies of G. B. Sammartini. Vol I: The Early Symphonies") is clearly to the younger brother rather than to Giuseppe.

Talk:Gottfried Achenwall

message: The book comes from 1791 when the province name was changed by the occupants from Royal Prussia (1466-1772) to West Prussia (1773-1824; 1878-1919). Gottfried Achenwall was born in 1719 and died in 1772 when those territories were still part of Poland. The book from 1791 simply shows that the name Elbląg was not the 1945 invention and that it was even used in a German book when Elbląg fell under Prussian rule in 1772. To show it more clearely there is a book from 1754 which states the same thing. 77.253.66.49 (talk) 09:58, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

For example, the Japanese language version of this article gives the reading of 指 as し which corresponds to "shi" in romaji.
Similarly, kotobank.jp has this exact phrase, and likewise gives the reading for 指 as し.

#Their wives were Elsbeth and Margret Lötscher, a family with Anabaptist connections from as early as 1660,
