When looking for his date of death via google, I noticed that several site listed 1843 as his date of birth. Maximus Rex, 09:04, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The Penguin and Grove Concise dictionaries of music both give 1843, so I'm going to change it to that. --Camembert

[edit] high school of cello playing

I do not think that "incredibly difficult" is the right way to describe Popper's book of cello etudes. Does anyone agree with me, or am I just underevaluating their difficulty? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TrogdorPolitiks (talk • contribs) 02:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

I think it is generally accepted that the High School of Cello Playing is very difficult. Keegan 22:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

Some cites show his date of birth as 9 December 1843 – [1], [2], [3], etc. (This cite gives both dates of birth!!!) Our article used to say 9 December, but it was changed to 16 June by this edit, with no edit summary or citations. So, where do we stand? Which is the correct date? And how would we decide between the 2 competing dates? -- JackofOz (talk) 07:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
