wrong link

The link to "One Plus One" gets redirected to "sympathy for the devil (film)" even though the 1+1 composition mentioned in this article has nothing to do with the film. woonie 16:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the linking for the phrase and also for any red links for work titles. Other titles for which there are not yet pages on Wikipedia are also listed, but not linked. Rather than make all of them red links, it makes more sense to add the links here when and if the pages are created. —scarecroe 17:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure it makes sense to count this

Two Interludes from the CIVIL warS for orchestra (1984)

as a separate work? May-be it's just a published compilation.

Philip Glass's Violin Concerto II

In the 2007 book Rant by Chuck Palahniuk, in Chapter 17 titled: Hit Men, a character considers Philip Glass's Violin Concerto II essential soundtrack to the death of one of his close friends. Which Philip Glass work is that? I see that so far he's only written one Violin Concerto and that a second Violin concerto is among his new works in various stages of completion. I know this is not what Wikipedia is for, but can someone help me with this? Many thanks in advance.

I think it's a relevant discussion here as far as pop culture references go. That said, does the text specifically read "Violin Concerto II"? Alternatively, the author may be referring to the second movement of the Violin Concerto. Or it may be a joke, implying any number of things. —scarecroe 19:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's written exactly how I wrote it above in italics. Perhaps that character, or even the author have made a mistake? I think the book is set in the future, so maybe the author considers that Violin Concerto II has been completed and released by then?

Ah. Well then there you go. —scarecroe 22:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe it's an alternate history, where Glass didn't withdraw his 1960 work, so the later concerto has become known as "II"! --Ant (talk) 00:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However, to date, there is no Violin Concerto II, right? Or has it been released, albeit unfinished? That was me before, btw, forgot to log in before. --h_a 23:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What does this withdrawn mean, for the violin concerto?213.35.169.124 14:37, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably it's because the composer doesn't feel that the work is up to standard. Post-publication jitters! ▫ Urbane Legend ^chinwag 23:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(a third collaboration with Ravi Shankar)_
Does this mean that it was the third time he collaborated with Ravi Shankar or that 1/3 of it was collaboration with Ravi Shankar?213.35.169.124 15:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Three songs to Sandburg's texts not included:

Three early choral songs to Sandburg's texts do not seem to be included here: "Spring Grass", "Haze Gold" and "Winter Gold".90.190.225.121 (talk) 18:55, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sesame Street 'cues'?

The track is referred to in multiple places as "Geometry in Circles". The full version is 2 1/2 minutes long, and is in 4 segments that were later inserted individually in episodes over the course of the next few years until the segment was retired from the show. There's more about it over at the muppet wiki at fandom, but I'm not sure how much of it has proper citations that could be used here to justify changing the name in the listing.

remarks

I wonder about the following:

Why is Einstein on the Beach for the Philip Glass Ensemble not listed under Works for the Philip Glass Ensemble?
The (rather well known) works from the Qatsi trilogy are not listed at all.
