[edit] Media files incorrectly represent work

Seems like variations have been added to the media files. This doesn't match up with the original sheetmusic... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.226.230.36 (talk) 17:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Run time?

If anyone's got a copy, it would be nice to add the approximate length in minutes of the tune. (Assuming it doesn't vary too much by performance). -- stillnotelf has a talk page 03:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Media downloads broken

Under media, there are downloads for all twelve movements. The first link produced a correctly named but zero-length file. The third did the same. But the second link yielded a working file.

I haven't a clue what to do about this.

I've encountered a similar problem. 11 of the files downloaded well, but the third movement of La Primavera downloads as a 0-length file, both in Firefox and via wget. - Gilgamesh 12:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. We've had a problem with our file upload server sometimes sending zero byte file bodies when it is under load. Our caches then would get these zero byte files stuck in them. I believe we have resolved this issue, although I am not totally sure yet. It is intermittent but we are able to reproduce it, so it will be solved if it isn't. Thanks for your patience. --Gmaxwell 02:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Yep, the same, got a zero-length file... Any way to fix this on my side? --Neikius 09:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

This comment by User:GeoFan49 moved here from the article space:

07 - Vivaldi Autumn mvt 1 Allegro - John Harrison violin.ogg

This file seems to be damaged. The file download is zero length.

08 - Vivaldi Autumn mvt 2 Adagio molto - John Harrison violin.ogg

The sound volume level of this file does not match the others in this collection.

[edit] Citation

Why the heck does anyone need a citation when they say that music from the Four Seasons appear in a film??? How idiotic. 66.171.76.176 02:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Composition Date

I'm confused. Was it composed in 1723 or 1725? Was it composed in one and published in the other? Other places online seem to say 1725... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Greatal386 (talk • contribs) 05:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] programme

a- spring has arrived, b- and happily the birds welcome it in joyfull song, c- and the streams flow at the breath of zephyrs with sweet murmuring. d- meanwhile, the sky darkens and there is thunder and lightning. e- afterwards the little birds return and all sing anew. f- and so, on the plesent flowery meadow under the rustiling trees, the shepard sleeps with his faithful dog by his side. g- to the festival sound of county bagpipes nymphs and zephyrs dance under the glorious spring sky. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.125.54.245 (talk) 11:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Notable Performances and Recordings

Wouldn't this be a nice section to have on this page? I'm surprised it's not already on there. Is there a wiki-rule against this? Kansaikiwi (talk) 05:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
