Section title
[edit]I applied the (proper) section title Instrumentation from the page Orchestra, which also has a section named Instrumentation.

What does the name mean?
[edit]I am currently doing a beginner's Italian course, and the word for musician appears to be "musicista". What, then, does "I Musici" mean? It would be useful to put this in the article. Paul Magnussen (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- Good question. According to http://www.etimo.it/?term=musico&find=Cerca, musico is an adjective meaning 'appertaining to music' or a noun meaning 'one who composes or executes music'. It may be worth noting in the article that the syllable Mu- carries the stress. Sdoerr (talk) 15:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
"Premiere recording"?
[edit]Why this rather odd form of words? If "first" is meant, then use that word... except that it clearly wasn't the first recording, as the Molinari version dates from the early 1940s and was on LP by 1950. First commercial hit recording, possibly. Loganberry (Talk) 20:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
- "Première recording" unambiguously means a first recording by anybody world-wide. "First recording" could mean merely first recording by the artist concerned, e.g. Julian Bream has recorded Concierto de Aranjuez three times. Paul Magnussen (talk) 18:38, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- But it wasn't the "first recording by anybody worldwide", since the Molinari version was on LP by 1950, five years before this one. Loganberry (Talk) 19:46, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Vivaldi - Four Seasons
[edit]There is conflicting information. Here (I Musici), it says, "I Musici's 1955 recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons was the second recording of the work, as well as the group's first recording of any music. It created such interest in the work that there are now more than 120 recordings."
Firstly, at Four Seasons, it lists other recordings that predate the 1955 I Musici recording making I Musici's the third recording at the least.
Secondly, at Four Seasons, it says, "The World's Encyclopedia of Recorded Music in 1952 cites only two recordings of The Four Seasons – by Molinari and Kaufman. By 2011 approximately 1,000 different recorded versions have been made since Campoli's in 1939." "... more than 120" does not contradict "approximately 1000" but it is quite an understatement.
