In progress[edit]

To do[edit]

  • Repair
    • Masonry and Magic Flute: mention it, but don't allow the total garbage stuff
    • Mozart's composition method: K. 309, channel Konrad and quote the letter
    • Urtext edition: Rosen, web guy for editor-created error
  • Books you are mining
    • Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia
    • Jones 2009a The Life of Haydn
    • Jones 2009b Oxford composer companions: Haydn
    • Heartz Haydn Mozart Beethoven
    • Stafford, Mozart Myths
    • Wolff, Mozart at the Gateway to his Fortune
  • Haydn
    • The missing bio section: 2nd visit to London
  • Mozart
    • Replace the plagiarized section. This should be high priority.
    • Read it through and fix things.
    • Where did people say his operas are difficult? Deutsch p. 315, the Emperor felt this way.
  • Gottfried van Swieten
    • Haydn wanted to switch librettists for his next oratorio, The Last Judgment
    • His symphony performed in the Augarten.
    • His taking care of Mozart's kids after their father died. To what extent? Did he renege?
  • Shape note and Sacred Harp
    • See if you can find:
      • O'Brien, James Patrick. 1969. An Experimental Study of the Use of Shape Notes in Developing Sight Singing. Ph.D. dissertation, University of Colorado at Boulder. a followup on Kyme, perhaps providing balance.
    • All those unfinished satellite articles.
    • R. L. Vaughan is unhappy about history and should receive a response.
  • Emanuel Schikaneder
    • 1789: His secret depravity in Regensburg and possibly covert departure. His reply to the censuring masons. See the book about the published MF libretto for this.
    • His skill as singer
  • Bartolomeo Cristofori and fortepiano
    • Go back to Pollens and use it to source things more thoroughly.
    • Pollens seems to think that Maffei's diagram was accurate for the time
    • Write an article on the piano before Cristofori. Difficult to title it without committing POV! Source: Pollens's book.
    • Cristofori was part of the Prince's crew of musicians, it would appear - Pollens
  • article on Rondo variations?
    • e.g. as in Haydn's Gypsy Rondo trio
    • There are quite a few of these, I think.

Links to Neue Mozart Ausgabe[edit]

"The basic instructions are at {{NMA}}. In this case, I obtained the volume and page numbers for the scores and the critical reports by a) expanding the list for "Serie IV Orchesterwerke" at NMA; b) opening the scores and critical reports for numbers 62 & 63 (Tänze · Band 1 & 2); c) navigating to their respective title page: the page number is then shown in the browser's address box." -- From Michael Bednarek, 10 March 2009
