On the Messiaen article
I saw what you said when you reverted my edit on the Messiaen article. And sure, I agree with you - but the point of my edit was really to put that sentence at the bottom of that paragraph, as I felt the info it conveyed wasn't as "important" as some of the other info in that paragraph. Because I looked up "Messiaen" and the little Misplaced Pages blurb Google showed me said: "Olivier Eugène Prosper Charles Messiaen was a French composer, organist, and ornithologist who was one of the major composers of the 20th century. His music is rhythmically complex." And I thought, that's kind of a lame blurb, isn't it? Sure, it's not wrong, but I'm sure he wasn't the only composer whose music was rhythmically complex. And what YOU said seems to agree: "It 'is' complex, but on the whole I would say it's less rhythmically complex than a lot of 20th- and 21st-century music." Meanwhile, Messiaen's modes of limited transposition were something that were a lot more unique to him as a composer. So I thought if, by moving the original sentence to the bottom of the paragraph (if it even really needs to be in there at all, honestly), that Google as a result might instead include the bit about his limited modes of transposition when you look him up.
Guess I just thought I'd let you know my side of things. Hope you'll understand. Benny the Bouncer (talk) 21:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. Thanks for the explanation -- it makes total sense. Now that I understand what you were trying to achieve, I agree with you about the lame ending to that blurb. I thought to myself, "so what would be the most important thing to add there?" My answer was: his importance and influence as a teacher. So I suggested a reorganisation of the lead here in light of that. I'll watch how that affects the Google blurb. I'd be interested to know what you think. Feel free to suggest other improvements! And thanks again. RobertG ♬ talk 15:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks for doing that. Yeah, the bit about him being a teacher totally works, too. Thanks again for understanding. Benny the Bouncer (talk) 00:29, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
