This is the most common English language title of the opera. --DrG 18:14, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)

For the sake of others, here is the move history of this page. It was created by DrG at Master Pedro's Puppet Show. I moved it to El retablo de Maese Pedro. DrG then moved it to Master Peter's Puppet Show.
I disagree that either of the English titles is more commonly used in English-speaking countries. Here's Google, for one example.
El retablo de Maese Pedro (original title) : 1,710 English pages [1]
Master Pedro's Puppet Show: 40 English pages [2]
Master Peter's Puppet Show: 666 English pages [3]
But I don't think that this is the end of the world, since redirects will bring people to the page anyway, even if it doesn't fit the proposed naming guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera, so I won't fight for it to be moved anytime soon. Cheers. --BaronLarf 12:44, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarised content needs rewriting

I have changed the title of the former section "Score and music sample" to "Musical analysis". (There is no music sample in the article) More importantly, a large paragraph was taken verbatim from Joseph Horowitz, Celebrating Don Quixote Program Notes, Brooklyn Philharmonic 2003/2004 season. I have now put that in quotes and referenced it, although it should ideally be re-written. I suspect large chunks of prose elsewhere in that section are also lifted from one or more sources. Notably [4] and possibly the article in Musical Quarterly. (I can't access the latter as I don't have a subscription). Voceditenore (talk) 07:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
