Talk:List of compositions by Bohuslav Martinů

Catalogue numbers

Could someone please add a little info about the "H." numbers quoted against many of Martinů's works - what does the "H" stand for, who catalogued them and when? --Deskford (talk) 20:44, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Done. Robert.Allen (talk) 08:09, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Unexplained tag

What does "[auth.]" mean? It appears after many entries in this list, but I can't see any explanation. Thanks. --188.28.70.197 (talk) 20:49, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

I'd like to know the answer to that, too. It first appears when User:Gampe (a Czech editor who claims only a basic knowledge of English) added the table format with this edit in March 2018. My first guess was that it meant the words of vocal compositions were written by the "author" (that is, the composer), but then I noticed it appears with many purely instrumental compositions, like the Third and Fourth Symphonies. There should be a key to abbreviations in the table.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 23:18, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

@Jerome Kohl: "[auth.]" means "Under this name the author wrote the work". --Gampe (talk) 12:29, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

@Gampe: Thanks for the explanation. Does this mean he wrote his string quartets (for example) under some other title?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 15:21, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

@Jerome Kohl:Frankly: I'm not a musicologist. I will send your question to the Bohuslav Martinů Institute. That is the highest institution in the world in this field.--Gampe (talk) 17:05, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

@Jerome Kohl:After consultation with the Bohuslav Martinů Institute: note [auth.] has meaning in the Czech language. There is no sense in English version (because original names are translated here). That's why I deleted it.--Gampe (talk) 16:26, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for dealing with this question.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:58, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
