Family/background

[edit]

Where was he born ? Details of his family and schooling would be appreciated. What about his tone-deafness and the way he tackle it ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.176.120.156 (talk) 17:14, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Use of middle name instead of surname?

[edit]

It seems odd to me that Mathieu is referred to by his middle name, Allaudin, instead of his surname Mathieu, which would better follow Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biographies#Subsequent_use.

In Free Your Voice: Awaken to Life Through Singing,[1] it's clear that he's "known to his friends and colleagues as Allaudin," but in another published book, Temperament: How Music Became a Battleground for the Great Minds of Western Civilization,[2] he's simply referred to as Mathieu (after being first mentioned as "W.A. Mathieu"). Basementwall (talk) 18:43, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
