[edit] Schwitters/Hausmann

The article was presenting a few askew views:

  • One could think that "Ursonate: Rondo" was a poem by a later artist, who was influenced by Schwitters. -- I think a reference to "Ursonate" is more helpful, without going into detailed parts of it. And of course it must be unambiguously stated, that it is a work of Schwitters.
  • Article said that "Ursonate: Rondo" was based on a single word: "fmsbwtözäu" -- Well, firstly Schwitters writes it "Fümms bö wö tää zää Uu" which is not a single word, and secondly he also draws from Hausmann's "pggiv" from the same poem and "qjyE" from another poem.

Hausmann's so-called "poster-poem" which influenced "Ursonate" could be found here (with more background here) at the time of this writing.

Just because Schwitters used many words does not mean tha the did not develop or derive them from one. Your second argument contradicts Albright (2004), if I remember correctly, and some other source if I don't. Hyacinth 22:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reads like a Sixth-Form essay?

This article reads a bit like a sixth-form (high school?) essay to me, I'm afraid. Needs a serious rewrite.

How so? What about it needs to be rewritten? Hyacinth (talk) 11:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
