Talk:First Suite in E-flat for Military Band

[edit] Columns

The instrumentation needs to be put into columns. Ideally the three different versions should be lined up to show comparison. Justin Tokke 03:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities of Themes

I want to add a section that shows the different themes and how they are all very similar, esp. the chacone and march. I will make the music as pics.Justin Tokke 03:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flats

I'm not clear on why this article was moved, or why the flat symbol was written out in the instrumentation section. Powers ^T 21:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

1. The flat symbols used before do not look that particularrly nice
2. The suffux "-flat" is more understandable and, as far as I know, any Title will almost always have, for example, "Symphony No. 1 in E-flat". rather than "... in Eb".
3. It is easier for those who don't know music to understand what it is.

Well I guess the Manual of Style supports the option to use the words (and I've often seen it written out in the title of this piece and its sister), but I personally think it looks better with the flat symbols in the instrumentation section. Powers ^T 13:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
