From the perspective of a modern physician, It is clear in retrospect that Bizet suffered from rheumatic fever (a post-infectious sequel to acute scarlet fever likely in childhood). He died of the accompanying rheumatic heart disease. The quincy noted elsewhere is what we would today call a peri-tonsillar abscess, the result of the infection itself, probably occurring years before his final death from heart failure. Today his scarlet fever would have been quickly treated with penicillin, thus avoiding rheumatic fever altogether; but had he somehow not received treatment and gone on to develop rheumatic heart disease he could have been treated with cardiac valve replacement.

[edit] Pronounciation
How do you pronounce the name 'Georges Bizet'? 212.76.37.162 10:50, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
"Jhorjhez Bee-zay", long o. 24.255.11.232 04:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
First name should just be "Jhorjh," only one syllable. The rest is silent.
[edit] Copyright Check
Copyright examination was requested regarding subject described below. Sadly copyright examinations is not the right place for the request. The most common reason is that the content has already been added/uploaded to Wikipedia. Such cases (violations or not) are taken care of at Wikipedia:Copyright problems.
The request has been moved to List of rejected requests. Please move the request to a better location so it can be taken care of. When the request is moved and/or backed up, please remove this template and the entry from copyright examinations page.
The entire main body of the article seems to have been copied and pasted from this site. Ross Uber - Talk - Contributions - 06:02, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Large sections do seem to have been lifted either from the page cited or from a common source. But it's a short standard biography - hardly a scholarly work. I would recommend rewriting/paraphrasing the article so there is no longer any problem.

[edit] Grammatical error
I believe that the very first sentence has a small grammatical error. Where it says: "He was born at Paris,", it should read: "He was born in Paris[[.]]" The "at" needs to be replaced by "in", and the coma by a period.
I only bother you with this suggestion, because I find your encyclopedia to be excellent, and just wanted to help, a little.

[edit] Jewish Origin
With no concern for racism (I'm Jewish myself), I am just curious: Is there any evidence concerning Bizet’s religion? (He did marry Halevy's deaghter...)
[edit] Alleged copyvio
This article was cited as containing possible copyvio from The Virginia Opera. That article was copied from us, not the other way around. The page cited as a 'source' is for an production of Carmen that's running right now, while most of the text in question has been in the article for ages, and the text appeared in dribs and drabs early in the article's history. this diff, where an existing sentance is rephrased into the wording cited as 'copyvio', is a good illustration. So I think we're okay here. -- Vary | Talk 04:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
