According, as I recall, to Cuthbert Girdlestone (Mozart and his Piano Concertos), "nach Paris" - Leopold's words- might mean not "for Paris" but rather, "from Paris" as in, just back from. (Also, it's B♭, not B nor, on Wikipedia, Bb.) Also, it's not at all clear whether the 18th or 19th concerto was meant. "The identity of the herrliches konzert must remain a mystery."

von Paradis / Paradis

[edit]

In sources on Anton Franz Mesmer, in which she plays a prominent role due to his treatment of hers leading to his 'exile' from Vienna, she is always mentioned as just Paradis, not 'von' Paradis. Which is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxMimomus (talkcontribs) 15:12, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weber

[edit]

Thanks to User:Maestroukr for his enlightening addition to the article. I had no idea the piece was lifted almost note for note from the Weber Sonata. Ravpapa (talk) 14:47, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have checked it, and it certainly is not "note for note", Duskin's piece being 50% longer.--Aristophile (talk) 14:36, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The first half of the Sicilienne is note for note lifted from the Weber sonata. The second half is, as far as I can tell, Dushkin's own. It certainly is not taken note for note from the Tchaikowsky third string quartet - in fact there is hardly even a passing resemblence. @DCLawyer attributes this to a blog post on Reddit, not what we consider to be a reliable source here on Wikipedia.
I will give editors a chance to respond before I edit. Ravpapa (talk) 05:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DCLawwyer has once again included his contention that the Sicilienne is take from Tchaikowsky third string quartet. This time he also attributed that claim to a web page which makes no mention of Tchaikowsky. Nor is the theme an inversion of the Weber sonata. It is an exact quote.
I don't understand why @DCLawwyer is so insistent on these patently erroneous claims, nor do I understand why he has decided to change his username from @DCLawyer. Ravpapa (talk) 04:57, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now I understand. @DCLawwyer is a sockpuppet, with a notorious history of disruptive editing. I have reported him. Ravpapa (talk) 05:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies to @DCLawwyer for accusing him of being a sockpuppet of @DCLawyer. The lawyer with one "w" is indeed a sockpuppet, and it was I who misspelled the name of the two-"w" lawyer in the talk page comment above.
This doesn't change the fact that there is no similarity between the Tchaikowsky quartet and the Sicilienne, except, perhaps, that they are both written using notes. Ravpapa (talk) 05:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
