I am not an expert on Cherubini, but within two paragraphs, it is mentioned that he was admired by his contemporaries, and that he was not popular among them. There seems to be a slight contradiction; slight in that, I recognise admiration by Beethoven does not imply wide popularity. Still I feel someone knowledgeable has to edit these passages, so that any contradiction is removed.

Hello, 62.38.105.16 (may I call you 62?). It's not inconceivable that someone could be admired but not popular with contemporaries. Your music might be admired but your personality might be such that you had few friends. However, I've made a couple of alterations which I hope will soften the contrast. --GuillaumeTell 15:28, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] String Quartet #6 - Year of Composition in List

Wasn't this actually composed in 1837 rather than 1835? This appears to be an error, after listing #4 and #4 from 1835 correctly, the person just hastily did #6 the same as well. Smyslov 17:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
