Hyphen or not?

Is François Joseph hyphenated or not? The title is not hyphenated, but every mention of François-Joseph in the text is hyphenated. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 00:03, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Every other Wikipedia, and most importantly the French, uses the hyphenated version, so I suggest this article ought to be moved to François-Joseph Gossec. Unfortunately, that will require the procedures outlined at WP:RM. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:48, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should be hyphenated. See the title of the recent biography: Claude Role François-Joseph Gossec (1734-1829): un musicien à Paris de l'Ancien Régime à Charles X (Harmattan, 2000). --Folantin (talk) 13:57, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Instrumental Works - Tambourin

One of the most famous works of Gossec is his Tambourin, a short cheerful peace originally for flute and piano. It has however since been transcribed for violin, clarinet and other instruments, and was made famous in the post-world War II period by the flautist James Galway. The melody is also recognizable by many from a Warner Brothers cartoon.

The name and rhythm of Tambourin Is drawn from the mediaeval Provencal dance of the same name. It is said to have been composed in 1794, and some say it was part of the stage music for Le Triomphe de la République or Le Camp de Grand Pré. The piece bears an interesting resemblance to the third movement of Mozart's Flute Concerto in D major K314. Indeed Mozart came to visit him in 1778 in Paris and is said to have found Gossek to be "a dry stick". CRGroves (talk) 14:41, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
