Is "formidable" meant to be "formative?" —Fleminra 03:45, Jun 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] error in dates

"In 1936 Oistrakh won second prize at the Wieniawski Competition, losing to the 15-year-old Ginette Neveu." wikipdia

simply not possible if: August 11, 1919 b.Ginette Neveu, 1934 Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition, David Oistrakh 2nd / dates are incorrect somewhere. ercord needs to be cross-checked for accuracy see the wikipedia article for Neveu

[edit] Let's talk.

All right. Whoever you are. I have deleted your plagiarist paragraph called "Oistrakh's Controversy" for at least the 3rd time. Another person removed it several times as well. I've told you my reasons why I did in the previous talk comments. But then again, you deleted them and another user's as well which is against Wikipedia policy. We are very tired of having to clean up after you. You want this paragraph in, the charges have to be also found in scholarly texts that can be used as sources. The speculatory account by Erick Friedman is not enough to instate this paragraph in as there are no American or Soviet documents to back it up. Let alone any accounts from Oistrakh or Heifetz's colleagues or superiors. So here's the deal. If you instate the paragraph in again before the Wikipedia Administrators block you and/or put protection on both the Heifetz and Oistrakh articles, you better list your reasons why on this talk page. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. --Vilmosgelb 02:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

wasn't he a virtuoso violinist?

[edit] Katchaturian

I thought the Katchaturian concerto was dedicated to Leonid Kogan? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.49.209.51 (talk) 07:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
