Your edit to Nicolas Bacri

Message posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2007

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Nicolas Bacri. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.concertartists.org/ReviewsPhotos/Antares%20San%20Diego%20Reader.doc and http://www.klassika.info/Komponisten/Bacri_Nicolas/wv_gattung.html in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Nicolas Bacri with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Nicolas Bacri with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Nicolas Bacri saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Your original contributions are welcome.

The site was gone before I had time to edit it.Swanstone 21:06, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag when you add a hangon tag

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with Nicolas Bacri. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. --Butseriouslyfolks 23:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Nicolas Bacri

In response to the message you left on my talk page, Wikipedia policies do not permit you to have additional time to edit an article you have posted that consists of material copied from another website in violation of copyright laws and Wikipedia policies. Also, I am not an administrator and do not have the ability to delete articles. I just mark them for an administrator to delete. I am sorry you are frustrated with Wikipedia's policies, but copyright violations are taken very seriously here. Your original contributions are welcome. --Butseriouslyfolks 00:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia

Thank you for your note about the cello solo arrangement of the piece. But did Halvorsen really trancribe it for cello solo, or was it done by a second hand (perhaps even by Mr.Hugh himself)? If that is the case then the second arranger should be cited. But you must understand, it is hard to believe that such a famous piece would all of a sudden appear in a new medium without ever appearing in any publishers' catalogs. However, it is not unprecidented that an arrangement or a faux-composition, such as the Cassado Toccata, would be purposely unrepresented, or misrepresented (like the Andres Diaz Russian Showpieces recording, where the arrangers' names never appear, and Chopin's Etude Op.25 no.7 is claimed to be by Glazunov, to go with the flow of the recording.) in order to increase record sales by the tiniest of margins, or simply being careless about what is going on the booklet. Thank you for understanding, and I will be looking into the cello solo arrangement of the piece. Maestroukr 20:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

There are plenty of great pieces that are yet to be famous. Take for example the Sibelius Theme and Variations for Cello solo in d minor (12 min) which was written in 1887 but only discovered in 1995. And still it is not published. Swanstone 20:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I found a Zinoviy Dynov that did the transcription: http://www.amazon.com/Un-Violoncello-Venuto-dal-Freddo/dp/B00005YJIF . I see you have a lot of knowledge about cello related materials. Thank you for contributing. Maestroukr 20:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I would do 'Zinoviy', personally, because of the correct English transliteration of the Cyrillic alphabet. 'Zinovij' is a German transliteration. Maestroukr 21:03, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Is the arrangement still available for sale, or is it out of print? Maestroukr 17:03, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I guess if I will one day be serious about playing the piece I could try to find it. Or I could just create my own Cello Solo edition of it (that is what I do if I can't find a transcription or an edition I am looking for). Thanks for the tip. Maestroukr 18:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Is Cossman's and/or Kiefer's Erlkonig for solo cello in print anywhere? If not, whose private collection is Kiefer's version in? LR 01:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I hope the early Sibelius work has been brought to Ondine's attention, it doesn't seem to have appeared in their survey of his early chamber music- hopefully in a later volume. (Or in BIS records' stunningly would-be-complete Sibelius survey, either, that I can tell?) It would be interesting to hear. Schissel | Sound the Note! 19:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion great cello work not yet famous and written initially for cello - Egon Wellesz's sonata. Only two recordings, though... Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm quite mistaken

It's on BIS-CD-817 [1] - sorry! Schissel | Sound the Note! 19:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Handel/Halvorsen

If this hasn't already been mentioned, that work is a Johan Halvorsen arrangement of a fairly well-known Handel keyboard passacaglia, from one of the latter's suites. Actually in my experience I usually see "Handel/Halvorsen violin duet" or "violin/viola duet" or such (it's as a duet for violin and viola that it's mentioned in the Halvorsen article, along with a sarabande), but someone - perhaps also Halvorsen - may have made an arr. for solo cello as well. Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah. Once again, my mistake- Maes. has mentioned this already. Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Domenico Liverani

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Domenico Liverani, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.clarinet.demon.co.uk/liverani.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Domenico Liverani

A tag has been placed on Domenico Liverani requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Clarinet-cello-piano trio

Hi, Who is John Bull besides John Bull (composer)? [[2]] Googling <"John Bull" composer - 1628> still pulls up too many irrelevant results to go all the way through. Thanks for the many additions; it's helpful if a date and/or publisher can be added too! Sparafucil (talk) 03:08, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Telemann fantasies

Please check your edition's preface/comments. They must be transcriptions. The Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians doesn't mention any cello fantasies by him, and neither does Zohn's massive volume on Telemann which devotes a special chapter to his instrumental fantasias. Or, if there is no preface, you could compare the music. Does the first piece begin with a little ostinato section on a descending bass? IMSLP has facsimiles of both violin and flute. --Jashiin (talk) 21:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Nicolas Bacri

I have nominated Nicolas Bacri, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicolas Bacri. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Jubilee♫clipman 04:16, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Toccata quarta. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Toccata quarta (talk) 11:21, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Toccata quarta. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Toccata quarta (talk) 11:21, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. Toccata quarta (talk) 11:21, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Clarinet-cello repertoire

The article Clarinet-cello repertoire has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A list of repertoire for which not a single article on the site exists; Wikipedia is not a database for clarinet-cello duos.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Why?

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 16:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
