RVW Symphony Names
Roger, on the RVW article, symphonies listings, you removed the designations of No.1, No. 2, No. 3, and so forth, and I don't disagree as a technical issue, except that to be consistent in this did RVW, HIMSELF, name his other symphonies with the use of numbering, (4, 5, 6, etc.)? I am of the impression that he actually named those by their KEY, ie, what is frequently called Symphony No.4 was named by him "Symphony in F minor", what is called No.5 was named "Symphony in D", what is called No.6 was named "Symphony in E minor", and the same pattern for Nos. 8 and 9.
I'll look into it also, but thought you might have specific references ready. Thanks, JackME 15:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay Roger, I see some anonymous editor has reorg/renamed the categories, and in the process has added back Symphony Number 1, etc. I support you, in changing those designations to reflect their actual names as used by RVW. But I'm not opposed to using the sequence numbers in parantheses to add clarity. Kennedy is quite the authority on RVW and then of course there is the RVW website too, so we should be able to get a definitive answer to RVW's own usage. JackME 13:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
