[edit] First soloist

If the intended soloist, Paganini, didn't appear in the premiere of the work, who did? JackofOz 00:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

in the premiere (the 23 november 1834 in Conservatoire of Paris), the violist was Chrétien Urhan (1790-1845, french violonist, pianist, organist, player of viole d'amour and composer, viola solo in orchestra of Opéra de Paris) fr:Utilisateur:Kiwa (sorry for my english) 16:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request name change

This page would be better at Harold en Italie to bring it in line with Berlioz's other works on Wikipedia which are all given in French (except The Damnation of Faust, but we'll be requesting a move there too). --Folantin 08:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Support. The words are practically identical in translation, and both pieces are almost never referred to in their English translation in biographies other texts on the pieces, and I've rarely seen them translated even in everyday chat. The translation, in addition to being inconsistent with the rest of his work names, means that the internal linking to the main pages (without using redirects) is unneccesseraly complicated - and it will continue to have to be done until the page names are changed, as referring to them by their English translations just looks messy in the context of a full article. I will paste the same reply in both talk pages, as the reasoning is identical for both. Lethe 09:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
