== Most recorded classical repertoire? ==
== Dancing to death ==


Hi there. I understand under the "recordings" section, it is noted that it is the most recorded 20th century classical repertoire, I have no objection to that. Yet in the intro paragraph it simply said it was one of the most recorded repertoire in classical music. I find this statement will require very strong and much more comprehensive citations. I would suggest changing it to "one of the most recorded 20th century classical music" to be consistent with the citation. I also do not believe that there is any way to reliably track the number of recordings out there, and if so, what number of recording counts as "one of the most recorded" (top 10? top 50?) Let me know your thoughts. Thank you. ] (]) 23:20, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

You also did not address my concern that there is no way to effectively rank the number of recordings or reliably classify them. "most recorded" is also a vague term as it could mean top 3, top 10, top 50, top 100, etc. My recommendation is to change it to "most recorded 20th century classical music".

{{outdent}}{{tl|Infobox ballet}} is completely inappropriate and very misleading. This article is about the musical composition, not a specific ballet with a specific choreographer.

Observe the way this issue is appropriately handled at ] and the related articles on the ballets using that music. ] (]) 15:07, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Most recorded classical repertoire?

Hi there. I understand under the "recordings" section, it is noted that it is the most recorded 20th century classical repertoire, I have no objection to that. Yet in the intro paragraph it simply said it was one of the most recorded repertoire in classical music. I find this statement will require very strong and much more comprehensive citations. I would suggest changing it to "one of the most recorded 20th century classical music" to be consistent with the citation. I also do not believe that there is any way to reliably track the number of recordings out there, and if so, what number of recording counts as "one of the most recorded" (top 10? top 50?) Let me know your thoughts. Thank you. Kazuha1029 (talk) 23:20, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

I find WorldCat a useful and reliable guide. One has to be on the look-out for duplicate reissues, of course, but with that caveat I suggest you look there. Tim riley talk 15:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Okay, so I played around with the website. Could you kindly explain how the editor arrived at the conclusion that Rite of Spring is indeed "one of the most recorded" music? What is the methodology? You also did not address my concern that there is no way to effectively rank the number of recordings or reliably classify them. "most recorded" is also a vague term as it could mean top 3, top 10, top 50, top 100, etc. My recommendation is to change it to "most recorded 20th century classical music".

I'm afraid I cannot answer your question about the main author's thought processes as to my sorrow and that of countless other Wikipedians he died a year or so ago, and is still sorely missed. Let us see if there is consensus among other editors in favour of your proposed alteration, but a quick Googling throws up numerous references to the Rite as one of the most recorded works: see, for example, p. 18 here Tim riley talk 15:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
