Hans Becker[edit]

Some of the sources named Hugo Becker as a member of the Brodsky Quartet (others listed only H. Becker). Hugo was the brother of Hans Becker; their father was Jean Becker. Since Hugo was a cellist, Hans a violinist and Julius Klengel, a cellist, was part of the quartet, Hans was actually a member of the quartet. This is quite clear in the most detailed of the sources, the book by Ehrlich: "Ehrlich, Alfred Heinrich (1897). "Brodsky, Adolf". Celebrated Violinists; Past and Present (original: Berümte geiger der vergangenheit und gegenwart). London: The Strad. p. 17. LCCN 10008593. Retrieved 26 September 2010. {{cite book}}: External link in |chapterurl= (help); Unknown parameter |chapterurl= ignored (|chapter-url= suggested) (help); Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help)"

Also, some sources did not list Hans Sitt as a (founding) member, but Ottokar Nováček. Again Ehrlich clear this up.

Finally, Elgar did not dedicate his string quartet to the Leipzig quartet, but to the Manchester. --Atavi (talk) 18:54, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
