Talk:Quodlibet

uh... 'libet' does not at all mean 'freely'; rather, libet = is pleasing

Why doesn't "Mashup" reference this page?

I'm not sure what the difference between 'Mashups' and regular quodlibets is.

Could that be a new reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fionnbharr (talk • contribs)

I think the term "quodlibet" is traditionally from classical music. People who make mashups might not know the term, though it might be an interesting way of describing what they do. There's also a difference in that mashups sample actual recordings, while quodlibets in this article involve taking part of another song and actually playing it on your own instruments within your own composition. --Grace 01:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thirteenth century?

The article says "popular through the thirteenth century (1300s)"

The thirteenth century was the 1200s. The 1300s were the fourteenth century. Who originally wrote this sentence? Which is correct? --Grace 01:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1712 Overture

Does PDQ Bach's parody of the 1812 Overture, where all of the melodies are replaced by similar but easily recognizable tunes (notably the nursery rhyme "Around the Mulberry Bush") count in this category? --Anansii 02:28, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

=I'm not sure, but one must also ask about some of the other Schickele works, such as the "Eine Kleine Nicht Music" and the "Chaconne a son Gout".
