First version[edit]

I wrote this article's first version --RobertKennesy (talk) 18:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Self-referential?[edit]

The article says:

From an audience point of view "'Night Music' consists of those works or passages which convey to the listener the sounds of nature at night[2]". This is quite subjective and self-referential.

Can anyone explain how this is self-referential? Squandermania (talk) 13:14, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Caps[edit]

Is there any reasoning behind the capitalization of "night music"? Hyacinth (talk) 23:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced content[edit]

There are two images of songbirds on the bottom of the article, with the captions telling that those birds' songs are quoted on the 2nd movement of the Piano Concerto No. 3. But nowhere in the article is this repeated, with references, and in the article Piano Concerto No. 3 (Bartók) it is not mentioned either. My suggestion is that either someone looks for sources, or it should be deleted as dubious unsourced content, or at least mark in the article that the content needs to be referenced so this doesn't goes unsolved.

Lengthy extract about the story behind the poetry[edit]

This seems out of place in the article and has a weight out of proportion with its only tangential relevance to the subject, which isn’t Bartok’s life story but an aspect of his musical output. MapReader (talk) 23:07, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
