Title: The Pianoconcertos.....
Post by: Harry on November 05, 2007, 03:12:23 AM
When cleaning the office last weekend, I was surprised what cd's came to the fore, which I had forgotten completely. One of them a box with 25 cd's issued on Brilliant called "The complete Piano Concertos Collection", by Beethoven/Mozart/Chopin/Grieg/Mendelsohn/Schumann/Tchaikovsky/Rachmaninov/Lizst/Brahms/Ravel/SaintSaens/ Gershwin, licensed from ASV/Nimbus and many others.
Anyone know this box? Could not find a image, so it must be OOP, and I owned it probably more than 4 years without knowing that. Also a lot of operas by Handel, loads of music from Beethoven.
Well keep my refuse bin in mind. Lots of it will go there.

I have not heard of this.  But the title "The complete Piano Concertos Collection" is fundamentally misleading.

BTW, Harry, since when is "piano concerto" merged into one word: "Pianoconcerto" (see subject header).

What's the big deal. In German the piano concerto is "klavierkonzert" which is one word. So merging the two words is pretty logical.

It's "pianoconcert" in Dutch. 8)

Harry, you ****.

Donate them to a local library if you don't want them, but don't just throw them out.

When will Oxford put 'triangleconcerto' in their dictionary?

If we're going to be pedantic, it should be (in English) pianoforte concerti ... we're talking about more than one, after all. ;)

Are they not totally interchangeable? I checked in a couple of my dictionaries and they reference both.

You think you are pedantic? Pah!

Harry's been called worse. He's a big boy. He can take it. :)

Indeed so. In fact it is considered more 'correct' to use English plurals wherever possible. Therefor a pedant would insist on 'concertos'.

Always feels uncomfortable under the tongue, to say 'concertos'.

Since this thread is going nowhere really, I will close it. It serves no purpose..
