[edit] Prokofiev

This page says Prokofiev returned to Russia in 1933 but the Prokofiev page says 1936. It needs to be harmonised.

I think what the page means is that Prokofiev had written the song in 1936, after he had returned to Russia in 1933.-PlasmaDragon 22:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] story

What is the story? Shouldn't we provide a summary of what the story is about? --69.216.131.46 01:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. Hope you like it. --Pjt56 17:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I think, though, that the story as described features the new, tamer ending (the wolf goes to the zoo.) Didn't the original version have the huntsmen kill the wolf? Emcurt3 03:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation needed

How do we know that Prokofiev's tongue was in his cheek? The location of his tongue (i.e. his intent when composing, especially if ironic) is hard to verify and probably a bit a matter of opinion. If there is a source that says what his intent was, I would like it to be cited.-PlasmaDragon 04:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Since it seems like nobody could find a citation, I have now removed the statement in question.-PlasmaDragon 20:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

The Related works section recently received additions that were lazily put into a list. This section should be restructured so that each topic reads as a paragraph, or broken into sub-sections for each topic. —scarecroe 19:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarinet range

I have heard before that the lowest note in the cat's part cannot be played on a normal Bb Clarinet, though a quick Googling only shows an apparent mirror of an earlier version of this page. Perhaps this could be verified and added... 62.101.102.226 15:34, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable recordings

Two more recordings were just added to the list of Notable Recordings. If the name of the section is to stay, each entry needs to be sourced as to why it's notable. If folks are just going to keep adding their favorite recordings, "Notable" should be dropped with the intention of making that section a Discography. —scarecroe 14:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Fixed reference to Arthur Fiedler. Link was pointing to Arthur Fielder, a cricketer instead of the Boston Pops conductor.JoeyJoeJoe70 (talk) 02:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
