Thank you, essentially what I was about to write myself. |

I want to rewrite this article, to either move the criticism to a "Criticism" section or just annihilate those paragraphs altogether. Probably the latter. |

Thank you, essentially what I was about to write myself.
I want to rewrite this article, to either move the criticism to a "Criticism" section or just annihilate those paragraphs altogether. Probably the latter.
Bibliography
This is a fine article. However, I've found something wrong in the bibliography: the footnotes often refer to "Geiringer (1962)", yet there is no corresponding entry for that in the bibliography section. The same is true for "Geiringer (1961)". Is this a typo, or were other works cited that aren't mentioned in the bibliography section? Graham87 07:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- I am in awe at the eagle eye. Yes, it was a goof. Geiringer revised the book in 1962, and again in 1982. I used the 1982 edition. 1961 was a typo. --Ravpapa (talk) 14:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
I think James Webster has written important stuff on Haydn, especially his str. quartets. I suggest browsing through his publications. Another reference can be found in Charles Rosen's The Classical Style. Gidip (talk) 09:36, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Great work
What an unexpectedly valuble Wikipedia page - thanks to the people involved with this! To think, in 10 years time WP will be full of such amazing articles on specific musical pieces, but at the moment they are the exception rather than the rule, and to be treasured.

- This article with a few improvements could be GA, I think! OboeCrack (talk) 13:59, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I agree with OboeCrack. The article exhibits a great perspective on this op. I think rough and tumble nature of the recordings are actually working in their favor, lending them a "folkish" quality that allows the listener to get a visceral sense of the music. The sheen and distance that is often found on professional recordings can be off putting at times! Kudos ravpapa. Btj (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
