Talk:Amilcare Ponchielli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Date of Death
We show him dying on 16 January. Sources seem divided as to whether he died on 16 or 17 January.
- This has a bet each way, referring to both 16 January and 17 January.
On the other hand, Nicolas Slonimsky, usually an extremely reliable source, says he died on 15 January.
So, where to now? Can anyone cite an authoritative reference that will decide this? -- JackofOz (talk) 08:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
