Hello welcome to wikipedia. Nice work on Cornelis Dopper but ALWAYS remember to category it at the bottom of the page e.g Category:Dutch composers by placing a [[ ]] around. I see you wikify well. It would be great if you start writing new articles on Dutch composers and painters or something. All the best Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:48, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the birth and death categories and a portrait of him Cornelis Dopper Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Also, for the category hint, I figured I'd thought of everything but that was obviously not the case. There are still loads of composers to go through, so I guess I'll be back.

Badings

Interesting about Badings and Pijper- but useful to provide where the information has been obtained if it's not clearly on one of the external links... Thanks! Schissel | Sound the Note! 03:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Johann Rufinatscha headings

Hello, thank you for adding information to Johann Rufinatscha. I've partly reverted your recent edit, the one in which you replaced the format of the headings. This is because the standard format (on English wikipedia, at least) goes ==, then ===, then ====, etc., not the other way around as you did. Jashiin (talk) 13:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Totally overlooked this a few years ago; but a belated thanks for fixing my mistake, must've been asleep at the time. --Ilja.nieuwland (talk) 07:47, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Xaver Scharwenka

Dear Ilja, I have slightly cropped some words of yours in the X.S. article which had had citation requests on them for a long time. Nothing very drastic and I have kept your sense mainly. If you have some printed refs I'm sure they'd be well appreciated in this article. Best wishes, Eebahgum (talk) 22:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pijper

I've found, generally, that critical writing does reflect that Willem Pijper is "generally" considered the most important Dutch serious music composer. I know we all have our favorites and some later critics may disagree, but Wiki needs to reflect what the preponderance of Reliable Sources state. I'm going to add words to this effect back in to the lede for the article. If he's "the Netherland's Beethoven" or some such epithet, then someone doing research for a school paper or whatever the general Wiki-reader needs should see something along those lines. They can dig deeper into the sources to then evaluate what the majority of musicologists say/think. The 2010 New Grove reflects this, and there is an essay by Dutch music professor David C. Wright that concludes "He is to the Netherlands what Sibelius is to Finland" - just two examples. Ok? HammerFilmFan (talk) 11:25, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quite apart from the fact that such a search for 'the greatest' this or that reflects a now thoroughly outmoded and discredited view of history in general, I could think of at least five Dutch composers who would merit a similar epithet.
As to the opinions you quote: this David Wright you refer to on my talk page (who he? not a Dutch name and not a professor here, is he the organist from Worcester cathedral?) may say all he want, but Pijper´s stature isn't even close to Sibelius's in Finland. For one thing, unlike Sibelius he has never become a national symbol transcending his musical importance, and his works are rarely ever performed (and significantly less frequent than some other Dutch composers, such as Peter van Anrooy, Johan Wagenaar, Henk Badings, Van Bree or even Matthijs Vermeulen). If there's ONE composer that functions as a national symbol, the choice is between Sweelinck and Diepenbrock. But considering the lack of knowledge about our musical past (in stark contrast to awareness of national painters), none at all would be more realistic. Finally, I would take Grove's opinions on any music outside the UK or the Austro-German realm with a grain of salt. --Ilja.nieuwland (talk) 09:45, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
