Re: "He liked to write cello concertos" - Only one of Dohnanyi's works is for cello and orchestra, and it isn't a sonamed concerto (Concertstuck, op 12). ? Schissel 18:00, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] More Importantly___

There is already a Erno von Dohnanyi. Merge? Delete this? Schissel 18:03, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

I think all common mispellings should redirect to the name properly spelled. However, there is also the problem that the Hungarian "umlaut" is not quite the same thing as the German umlaut. The Hungarian character is graphically different and has its own Unicode code point and associated canonical decompositions. But there's also the problem of whether or not the English Wikipedia can properly render titles and links with such characters. So having the article at Ernö rather than Ernő seems like a second best solution to me. Del arte 19:38, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
There are in fact two Hungarian "umlauts": the short "umlaut" as in 'ö' and the long "umlaut" as in 'ő'. They differ in pronunciation only in duration. 38.117.238.82 06:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

The reason I originally asked was different, I fear! — the difference in content was more or less what concerned me. They've now been successfully merged, though. Schissel - bowl listen 23:25, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)

I merged them, and I attempted to find all possible articles with alternate spellings and redirect them to this page. The spelling on this page is typically the way it appears on recordings. --HK 16:05, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hans von Dohnányi

I recent edit indicates that Hans was executed for his role in a "plot to assassinate Hitler." Do we know this for certain? I had originally added the reference to Hans having distinguished himself in the Anti-Nazi resistance, which I knew from my readings on Bonhoeffer. If there is a reliable source for this, it should certainly be in the article, but I would go a step further: Wikipedia could use an article on Hans von Dohnányi, and maybe the author of the recent edit could supply it. --HK 21:50, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Assumed Nobiliary Particle "von"

I understand that Dohnanyi had no entitlement to use "von" in his name, either through inheritance or ennoblement. He simply chose to start using it. Do we have any info about when the change occurred, what were his reasons for doing so, and what was the reaction to him adopting both the "von", and using Ernst in place of Erno. JackofOz 07:13, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

And, since he obviously did that, why isn't the article under that name? Gene Nygaard 04:10, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I note that we make no mention of the name by which he became best known, Ernst von Dohnanyi. Surely we need to say something about this. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Restoring infobox

The reason given was that a dubious paragraph at the classical music wikiproject written by the guy who has single handedly remove infoboxes across classical music articles. But he neglects to note that this page is not within the scope of the classical music wikiproject (it only covers those articles that quote that are not covered by other music related projects). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.251.233 (talk) 23:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
