bombastic?

[edit]

I hardly think that's the word for these pieces. (Based on the article on the whole, I don't think the writer meant it in a derogatory fashion. (He/she afterwards calls them "memorable," for example.)

You're certainly correct that I did not intend anything derogatory -- these are among my favourite pieces in the repertoire -- by using the term "bombastic"; it was mean to connote "energetic", "vivacious", "celebratory", etc. However, I can understand that maybe it isn't the best word to use, so I've since replaced it with "lively".
Also, you should feel perfectly free to modify any of the articles on Wikipedia if you think you can improve upon them: Wikipedia belongs to everyone. So be bold! --Todeswalzer|Talk 01:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some of these pieces are bombastic, that would be the best word for it Evildoctorcow 23:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A few passages here and there might be considered so (the only ones I can think of are in the middle sections of Opus 42 nos. 4 and 6, though these do not strike me as offensive in context), but I don't think that adjective applies to even one of these pieces as a whole. You are of course entitled to your opinion.

Opus 46 Nos. 3 and 6

[edit]

In the original edition of the piano four-hand version, no. 3 was the D Major sousedská and no. 6 the A flat Major polka. Their positions were reversed in the orchestral version. This order is now generally used. Kostaki mou (talk) 20:25, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've now added this to the main article (and amplified, with a reference). Ozaru (talk) 16:04, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
