Has anyone noticed how the second movement seems to have the same theme as the Sanyo cell phone ring tone "Tone 7"? Kmill 01:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources?

What about sources on this page? Discovered some facts in The New Grove Dictionary of Music that seems to divert from this text. They say Ravel participated in the Prix de Rome competition but not in 1904 and never with his string quartet! I am just curious if there is another source where theese facts come from! All the best.

Info-box

I deleted the info-box added a while ago, feeling it was unhelpful duplication, as i-bs often are, but I think this may be a borderline case, and I wonder if other interested editors think it will or won't help our readers. Comments earnestly invited... Tim riley talk 19:31, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, it does look very basic and superfluous, though I would retain the image next to the lead (without the infobox, of course). Toccata quarta (talk) 20:02, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's helpful, as it selects some tidbits about the subject but does not really give a balanced, meaningful "at-a-glance" understanding of the piece. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:41, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources of piano 4 hands

Hi. Four hands by Maurice Delage does exist. It can be found e.g. at this entry at BnF or at this IMSLP entry. Also a y2009 CD can be found here. I'm not sure what are good citations for music articles, so I leave it to someone.

My last edit mentioned it as a 2-piano 4-hand, but it's probably a "normal" 4-hand, i.e. for a single piano. Anyway since all sources simply mention it simply as "4 hands", we should simply write so. (The sheet music looks consistent, too.)

FYI: What's confusing is that the above mentioned CD was titled "Debussy/Ravel: Transcriptions For Two Pianos". Its jacket also reads "String Quartet in F major (transcription originally for four hands by M. Delage)". I guess the arragement by Delage is actually for one piano, but that CD was recorded using two pianos.--Teika kazura (talk) 07:47, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. The BnF citation will do admirably - and now added. Thank you. Tim riley talk 10:27, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
