Is the correct capitalization of this "Pierrot Lunaire" or "Pierrot lunaire"? My French is too bad to even be pardoned, but I usually see the latter.... Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 03:56, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It looks like the correct complete title is Dreimal sieben Gedichte aus Albert Girauds Pierrot lunaire. So lower case 'l'. French rarely uses caps ... perhaps moveth the page we must. Antandrus 04:03, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)


all the information starting in the second last paragraph with "Schoenberg uses Sprechtstimme" until the end is already stated in a less precise way earlier on. it makes it seem like two separate articles pasted together unedited!! -Dinah Shadd

What is the justification for describing this work as containing Klangfarbenmelodie? Is this a musicological view? The author should take a look at the corresponding Wikipedia article for the more usual understanding of the term.

Incidentally, the poems of Pierrot lunaire are written in rondell form, not rondeau form (!). And Schoenberg's fear of the number thirteen has evidently been ignored by whoever added that information about numerology.

It is not Klangfarbenmelodie (perhaps the author confused this with the pieces for orchestra?); you should remove that point. I don't know poetic forms, so I won't argue the "rondeau" point either, but may I ask, what does Schoenberg's triskaidekaphobia have to do with the numerology section though? Does it have any significant relationship to the piece? - Rainwarrior 00:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
