Talk:Violin Concerto (Berg)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Title

Would Berg's violin concerto be a more appropriate title for this article? -- Zoe

Possibly - it's something up for debate at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (pieces of music). Personally, I prefer putting the composer in brackets, because it is more consistent with disambiguation like Vertigo (movie), the possessive apostrophe seems rather clumsy somehow, and it makes it easier to link to the composer and the piece of music together: for example, writing in some article "in [[Berg's Violin Concerto]]..." is fine to get a link to the piece, but if you also want to link to the composer, you have to write "in [[Alban Berg]]'s [[Berg's Violin Concerto|Violin Concerto]]...", which is a pain. If you use the current form, though, you can use the pipe trick and write "in [[Alban Berg]]'s [[Violin Concerto (Berg)|]]..." (the extra pipe at the end of the second link causes this to be rendered as "in Alban Berg's Violin Concerto"), which is a good deal easier. So I believe the current title is best, but I'm prepared to be convinced otherwise. (I'll copy this to the aforementioned naming convention page, btw) --Camembert
the yuckness of "in [[Alban Berg]]'s [[Berg's Violin Concerto|Violin Concerto]]..." is a convincing argument! -- Tarquin 18:04 Dec 25, 2002 (UTC)
I guess since you put it that way ... :-) -- Zoe

[edit] Dates discrepancy

If Berg died in 1935, why does this page say he conducted the English premier in 1936?

My mistake: it was conducted by Webern, not Berg. I've fixed the article. Thanks for pointing it out. --Camembert

[edit] Sound Samples

  • What happened to the sound samples? since they are removed shouldn't that section also be removed then?
