Emme Kemp

I have removed the section about Emme Kemp, and at the same time I've added a link to her on the page containing a list of Petri's students. First of all, this paragraph was non-encyclopedic, and moreover it seemed out of scope with the rest of the article, and even featured some not-so-hidden advertisement about a future documentary Ms. Kemp is producing. If the career and projects of Ms. Kemp merit attention on Wikipedia, I suggest that the people interested create a separate page for her.Logosun (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

I'm announcing my intention to substantially improve this biography; I have some source material in hand, and will enlist people to help me get at records at Mills College. My user page has a little more info on how I plan to accomplish this. I'd like the help of an editor - I will ask the two who helped me prepare the Sarah Cahill (pianist) biography, unless someone else offers first. Reechard (talk) 06:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

John Sweeney

I am removing the link to John Sweeney (pianist) because the identification is doubtful. There was also an American pianist with the name "John Sweeney" who performed at Carnegie Hall and Wigmore Hall before giving up his career due to polio. He may have been the John Sweeney who studied with Petri. ([1]) This needs to be sorted out. --Robert.Allen (talk) 08:14, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical points - I seem to remember, and perhaps the revisions proposed above will confirm it - that Petri taught in Manchester, at the Royal College, from memory between 1906 and 1910 before World War I (his successor was, if I'm not wrong, Wilhelm Backhaus - Manchester culture had a strong German element in the mix - Halle"s successor at the time was Hans Richter) and also after that war, in Germany - so it would be useful to have a few more dates for what was, after all, an important European career86.131.144.239 (talk) 15:29, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
