Talk:Hugo Wolf

Comment

Someone who is a real Wolf scholar and/or not so enamored with the sound of her own voice ought to hack this one apart until it's presentable. Bonus points for finding good PD pictures. Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 09:24, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

On a read-through I think it's quite presentable. PD pics on Wolf are hard ... maybe a trip to a library to find an old book and a scanner within walking distance of each other... Antandrus (talk) 23:35, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

My small edit explained: Slovenj Gradec was indeed Windischgraz whilst he was alive but by the time it became the German-speaking island during the interwar period, Wolf had long been dead. Given that its status as a German-speaking island within Slovenia in the Kingdom of SCS was brief, would happen in the future, and has not been the case since 1945, I thought it better to replace his birth details with the current.

GA Re-Review and In-line citations

Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

Composer project review

I've reviewed this article as part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Composers review of its B-class articles. This article is B-class, but has some notable room for improvement: expanding the works list, and adding inline citations are the major tasks. My full review is on the comments page; questions and comments should go here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 13:42, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Quote ID

I've come across this quote from Wolf:

• There may be people sufficiently serious to find this opera comic as there are people sufficiently comic to take Brahms's symphonies seriously.

Does anyone know which comic opera he was referring to? Google has not helped me on this occasion. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 02:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

==Downgrade from GA-class to B-class, 28 February 2007== I have downgraded the WPBiography rating from GA-class to B-class as per the GA-status removal for lack of in-line citations. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 14:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC) ==Composers Project Assessment of Hugo Wolf: 2009-01-15== This is an assessment of article Hugo Wolf by a member of the Composers project, according to its assessment criteria. This review was done by Magicpiano. If an article is well-cited, the reviewer is assuming that the article reflects reasonably current scholarship, and deficiencies in the historical record that are documented in a particular area will be appropriately scored. If insufficient inline citations are present, the reviewer will assume that deficiencies in that area may be cured, and that area may be scored down. Adherence to overall Wikipedia standards (WP:MOS, WP:WIAGA, WP:WIAFA) are the reviewer's opinion, and are not a substitute for the Wikipedia's processes for awarding Good Article or Featured Article status. ===Origins/family background/studies=== Does the article reflect what is known about the composer's background and childhood? If s/he received musical training as a child, who from, is the experience and nature of the early teachers' influences described? ok ===Early career=== Does the article indicate when s/he started composing, discuss early style, success/failure? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed? ok ===Mature career=== Does the article discuss his/her adult life and composition history? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed? ok ===List(s) of works=== Are lists of the composer's works in WP, linked from this article? If there are special catalogs (e.g. Köchel for Mozart, Hoboken for Haydn), are they used? If the composer has written more than 20-30 works, any exhaustive listing should be placed in a separate article. Notable works list. ===Critical appreciation=== Does the article discuss his/her style, reception by critics and the public (both during his/her life, and over time)? ok ===Illustrations and sound clips=== Does the article contain images of its subject, birthplace, gravesite or other memorials, important residences, manuscript pages, museums, etc? Does it contain samples of the composer's work (as composer and/or performer, if appropriate)? (Note that since many 20th-century works are copyrighted, it may not be possible to acquire more than brief fair use samples of those works, but efforts should be made to do so.) If an article is of high enough quality, do its images and media comply with image use policy and non-free content policy? (Adherence to these is needed for Good Article or Featured Article consideration, and is apparently a common reason for nominations being quick-failed.) One image; no sound. ===References, sources and bibliography=== Does the article contain a suitable number of references? Does it contain sufficient inline citations? (For an article to pass Good Article nomination, every paragraph possibly excepting those in the lead, and every direct quotation, should have at least one footnote.) If appropriate, does it include Further Reading or Bibliography beyond the cited references? Article has references; is (still) inadequately inline-cited. ===Structure and compliance with WP:MOS=== Does the article comply with Wikipedia style and layout guidelines, especially WP:MOS, WP:LEAD, WP:LAYOUT, and possibly WP:SIZE? (Article length is not generally significant, although Featured Articles Candidates may be questioned for excessive length.) ok ===Things that may be necessary to pass a Good Article review=== Article requires more inline citations (WP:CITE) Article needs (more) images and/or other media (MOS:IMAGE) Article prose needs work (WP:MOS) ===Summary=== This is a reasonably good article. It has a number of issues, the most notable being the reason for its GA delisting: lacking sufficient inline citations. This is particularly important when strong statements are made (e.g. stating his opinion of Anton Rubinstein as "odious"). The other significant lack is a complete works listing. If his complete oeuvre is long enough it should be listed in its entirety in a separate "List of compositions by" page. It could also benefit from additional images, and some copyediting to fix some awkward sentence constructions. Article is B-class; needs work. Magic♪piano 13:40, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The singer referred to in the text as "Alexandre Trianti" was in fact,on the labels and in all press discussions of the various issues of the Hugo Wolf Society recordings, AlexandrA Trianti, a soprano. There is no Wikipedia article on her under either appellation, but there IS one on the Athens concert hall which is her memorial.Delahays (talk) 01:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

It should also be noted that there IS, in fact, an article in the German Wikipedia on the other red-lettered soloist mentioned in relation to the Wolf Society, Ria Ginster (1888-1985). The article might usefully be translated, since she performed and taught in the US as well as in Germany, and was a distinctive and respected artistDelahays (talk) 01:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

I think the Mahler Foundation plagiarized this article

I was reading this article by the Mahler Foundation and thought it sounded familiar. I realized it was essentially identical to this Wikipedia page. The Internet seems to indicate the MF article was written in 2015, and the edits to this page which are plagiarized were made by a variety of users beginning in 2004, which is why I believe the Mahler Foundation copied Wikipedia rather than, as I initially assumed, vice versa. This is made all the stranger by the fact that the Mahler Foundation doesn't necessarily need and article about Hugo Wolf. Is it a common thing for webmasters to simply copy and paste Wikipedia pages to beef up sites? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohalloranbooks (talk • contribs) 22:27, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes -- not only is it common for other websites to copy our content, but it's encouraged, under the terms of the license. The only thing they did wrong was not attributing the text to us, and indicating that it retains the CC by SA license, so others may use it similarly. Their copyright notice is vague about which of their text is copyright and which is not, and obviously the article on Wolf, being a copy of our article, is not. At least they didn't put a copyright notice on the Hugo Wolf page (you'd be surprised how often this happens -- often enough innocently, by a webmaster who just puts it on every page without thinking).
