tab·leau (tăb'lō', tă-blō') n., pl. tab·leaux or tab·leaus (tăb'lōz', tă-blōz'). A vivid or graphic description: The movie was a tableau of a soldier's life. A striking incidental scene, as of a picturesque group of people: “New public figures suddenly abound in the hitherto faceless totalitarian tableaux” (John McLaughlin). An interlude during a scene when all the performers on stage freeze in position and then resume action as before. A tableau vivant. [French, from Old French tablel, diminutive of table, surface prepared for painting. See table.]

[edit] Page merge

I don't like that the page was moved without discussion. I separated the pages because eventually, they must be two, and starting now makes navigation and redirects easier for everyone. ALTON .ıl 05:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Division

I don't think it's a good idea to split the article. If it got split, there would probably be two short stubs. Now it's an article which even needs ampliation, so we'd better leave it this way. In case of being a matter of increasing the number of articles of the English wikipedia, there's no need to do so. English wikipedia should now concentrate on improving the quality of the hundreds of short stubs it has (more than on creating new articles, which is also useful, of course).

Besides, there wouldn't be a right link to the article's other languages, which don't divide 33 and 39. Kadellar (talk) 21:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

No doubt there would be stubs, but two stubs together makes not an article. They are two distinct groups of works and deserve their own articles. They both need to be expanded, yes, but so do Piano Sonata No. 1 (Rachmaninoff) and Piano Sonata No. 2 (Rachmaninoff), and they shouldn't be put at Piano sonatas (Rachmaninoff). Completed 6 years apart and published 6 opus numbers apart, they are distinct woks in all but the name. Our preludes articles are also at different locations for these reasons (op. 23 and op. 32).
