We have a flag saying the neutrality of this article is disputed and to see the discussion on the Talk Page. There is no discussion on the Talk Page; in fact there hasn't been a talk page until now. Would those who dispute the neutrality like to cite those statements they consider POV?Cenedi 17:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- On adding some material to this page I discover that the tag mentioned above by User:Cenedi and removed, justifiably, has somehow reappeared. (28 Sept 2007). I have added a reference which provides a definite printed source for the material, and the article now also links to a slightly larger statement on the Georg Kulenkampff page than previously existed, and to many other pages via wikilinks. The article is therefore thoroughly wikified and I have removed the tone tag again. It would be helpful to have another reference if one is available. Kretzsch 10:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
traditional three-movement form, fast-slow-fast ??
[edit]The third movement is entiteld: "Lebfhaft, doch NICHT schnell": lively, but not fast. That many soloists tend to play it really fast (and then complain about its being unplayable), is another story.--Roazhon2 (talk) 14:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Joachim wrote to Schumann indicating that he had, in fact, played the work and indicating that a slower tempo for the polonaise was preferable. Presumably there had been one or more run-throughs.94.192.70.38 (talk) 08:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Schumann wanted it performed, but the Fantasy was performed instead
[edit]in late 1853, because (according to Geck) the General Music Society had placed an outright "ban" on this concerto (and not just because Joachim wouldn't play it.) ELSchissel (talk) 16:41, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
