editThe entry says he was somewhat of a gypsy. Does this refer to his travelling about? Or does it refer to his ethnicity? Why not call him somewhat of a nomad since the word gypsy is ambiguous. Note, i dont know if he was ethnically "somewhat gypsy" or not. Just a suggeston. Of course, if he also has some ethnic gypsy .. then the wording should stay.
Footnotes/references
editIt's rather confusing having numbered footnotes and references. violet/riga (t) 14:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Really? I like how the author kept them separate. I wouldn't want them mixed into the same section together. Andrew Levine 15:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- It would be better to have separate sections for "Notes" and "References", the first using the cite.php thingy and the latter having the proper references. See, oh, Dürer's Rhinoceros or S. A. Andrée's Arctic balloon expedition of 1897. -- ALoan (Talk) 21:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
More about his life welcome
editA bit more could be said of his personal life, family background etc before his death, and where he was buried if such details are known. I had read of his death in a list of 'composers who had unusual deaths' in Irving Wallace's 'Book of Lists', which commented he led a dissipated private life. Is there a biography in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography which could provide material for inclusion here?Cloptonson (talk) 11:27, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
