[edit] Not a text dump

Since Wikipedia is not a text dump, we figure some close analysis of this text is forthcoming, accompanying the English translation, for this is an English-language Wiki. Wetman 07:12, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] hmm

it would be nice to mention the changed hymne, which was used later as an offical hymne. This only mentions the poem that haydn wrote.

[edit] Op. 76-3

"The melody, along with several variations, is also the second movement of one of Haydn's most famous string quartets."

Is this the mentioned famous string quartet?:

Quartet No. 62 in C Major ("Emperor"), Op. 76, No. 3, FHE No. 42, Hoboken No. 77

Yes. Finell (Talk) 06:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is full text of lyrics appropriate?

I question whether the full text of the lyrics is appropriate for a general encyclopedia. I especially question whether the German lyrics belong in the English WP. And I see no use in the English WP for the German text of the later version without an English translation, or without any explanation of the differences between versions, what led to the later version, and what use was made of it. Comments, anyone? Finell (Talk) 06:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
