Composed in Meiningen in 1912; composed in Meiningen in 1912

There must surely be a way not to repeat that information twice, almost consecutively? Edelseider (talk) 06:10, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

One is lead, one history, no? Lead and infobox repeat from the history, intentionally. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:01, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
It's only my own literary taste, but in the intro, I would have written "he composed it in 1912", without the mention of the place, which is of secondary importance (at least, as long as your article doesn't stress why the fact that he composed it in Meiningen is of primary importance - if it is because of the court orchestra, you should point it out). Also, could you add some informations on the poem itself? In what year was it written? Before Hölderlin's insanity? Edelseider (talk) 08:22, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
It's extra information for those who then know that he composed it towards the end of his life, as I would say Mozart composed something in Salzburg or Vienna. Reger was the leader of that Hofkapelle for a while. Yes, that might be good to add. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:41, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
It is very flattering for Reger to be named in the same sentence as Mozart − one is a household name, the other is not. Maybe thanks to your efforts, he will be? :) Edelseider (talk) 08:44, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
He was celebrated in 2016, 100 years after he died. I didn't want to elevate him to Mozart's rank, but only compare the unfamiliar to something more familiar. - DYK complained about too much Reger last year ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:07, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
