A fact from Symphony in C (Bizet) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 November 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,717 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Symphony in C by Georges Bizet(pictured) was a completely unknown piece until it was discovered at the Paris Conservatory library in 1933, nearly 60 years after Bizet's death?
Would any one care to start keeping track of different CD's, in wiki articles, that selected appear in? Essentially Gracenote information (although only basic CD info, not track info). --Sydtron (talk) 03:31, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Occasionally someone will create a discography article for a popular piece, but there's been no concerted effort to do so. Most of the pieces in the standard repertoire have been recorded dozens of times (or more) and the recordings are often re-issued many times with different couplings, so most of the editors have decided that its not worth all the effort.DavidRF (talk) 14:47, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure this language is entirely NPOV. How better to get across that not all commentators are happy with the title "Symphony"? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 20:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I left you a message on your talk page for general review. I had this same query. I think a gscholar search for refs that support the point raised by Tiersot + a ref to Groves, which makes the same point (viz - the work is considered a suite more than an abstract symphony) might do the trick.
