[edit] Internal links
I do not think that linking to music is gratuitous in an article about a professional composer. Hyacinth 05:28, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Hmm.. you're right. I guess I just have bad memories of everything2.com style linking :) I've put them back in and added a few -- I also didn't think about the fact that there are articles, some quite substantial, for those links. Bleh fu --BenK 13:41, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

- Great. Hyacinth 19:09, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Link to list of compositions
I just added a list of Berg's compositions. Should a link be added on the Lulu, Wozzeck, and Seven Early Songs pages? --BenK 03:07, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Uncited Quote
The very last sentence of the "Life and Work" section is almost a direct quote from the Conclusion of the Grove Music Online article "Alban Berg". I don't know if this is indeed where this sentence came from or not -- but it either needs to be removed or rephrased or placed within quotes and properly cited.
A comparison:
Grove - "As the 20th century closed, the ‘backward-looking’ Berg suddenly came as Perle remarked, to look like its most forward-looking composer."
Wiki - "As the 20th century closed, the ‘backward-looking’ Berg suddenly came as the American composer George Perle remarked, to look like its most forward-looking composer." --Tnmusikherr 02:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- You were correct: indeed it seemed copy-pasted (even the curly quotes were the same). I did it as a literal quote; it's short enough, and it actually sums up pretty well. Antandrus (talk) 03:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
