Talk:List of classical music composers by era

Editing and typo

How exactly is one supposed to edit this page? Anyway, "Antonin Dvorák" should be replaced with "Antonín Dvořák". Toccata quarta (talk) 20:10, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Each of the timelines are embedded templates — presumably as, in some cases, they are used in more than one article. I have now edited Template:Timeline Classical Composers Romanticism Late to correct Antonín Dvořák. You might find Help:EasyTimeline syntax useful if you want to make substantive changes.

Alphabetical list

Text had this as alphabetical, which it may once have been. An alphabetical list is needed. algocu (talk) 13:24, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Why the 1879 cutoff?

Why are there no composers listed that were born after 1879? --67.150.123.5 (talk) 00:11, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Don't know, but there's a smaller graphic at Classical composers time-line which covers only the most important composers since about 1440. We wanted one graph and realised that going back to 1150 would probably make the graphic far too wide and/or tall for most browsers. Comments welcome there. We also need to decide on the relevence of having two different timeline articles covering very similar things. Thanks --Jubilee♫clipman 22:38, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

That page seems to be distinctly overlapping with the initial section here.

(That section is an embedded copy of Template:Timeline Classical Composers Famous (not currently used anywhere else, though it could potentially be used at Outline of music and Portal:Music and other places...?)).

I'd recommend merging that new article into the template. -- Quiddity (talk) 01:00, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree, we need to include composers after 1879 - not only does the overview omit them, but there is no timeline for the last section of the list either which adds to the problem. Regarding the overview, I made a few changes to the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical era entries a few weeks ago, but would want to consult before attempting to remedy the later eras. Perhaps I should weed out one or two of those designated 'Romatics' and substitute one or two later ones to begin with? Initial suggestions for deletion/addition to the overview template please.... --(RT) (talk) 12:13, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I have now extended the overview timeline to 2000. Further suggestions welcome. --(RT) (talk) 20:29, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

TfD of Template:Timeline Classical Composers Famous

Note that the overview timeline discussed above has failed TfD. --Jubilee♫clipman 17:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Gustav Holst

The composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934) seems to be omitted from the list. 203.56.168.143 (talk) 22:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Ralph Vaughan Williams

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) appears to be missing from the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.158.146.227 (talk) 16:07, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Andrea Gabrieli should be translocated between Lassus and de Wert

In the RENAISSANCE ERA list, the composer ANDREA GABRIELI (b 1532/33) should be translocated between ORLANDE deLASSUS (b 1530/32) and GIACHES deWERT (b 1535). ANDREA GABRIELI, among the prominent founders of the Venetian School, was a contemporary and friend of deLASSUS, who in the present list appears 20 years after ANDREA GABRIELI.

I think you mean the Renaissance composers timeline displayed here. Andrea Gabrieli's dates and position are now amended. (RT) (talk) 17:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

   REGARDING ANTONIO BERTALI

Is there still room for ANTONIO BERTALI (1605-1669), born same year as CARISSIMI, in the Baroque Era Composers timeline? His MISSA RESURRECTIONIS has been recorded live by Yale's Schola Cantorum in a fine atmospheric production (Dec 2005), whereas recordings of several other works of him are also available. Antoniouwik (talk) 09:08, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I'm familiar with a number of recordings. Bertali is in the much longer List of Baroque composers (see the middle section) — this list links there. I believe there is a technical limit how many names can be included in a single timeline but it is certainly possible to add to any of them. (RT) (talk) 19:41, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
