Name
[edit]I think the score shown at IMSLP misspells the title. According to the NMA (or here), this work's title is Gallimathias musicum, with two "L"s and a lower case "m". I suggest to move this article there. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:11, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- PS: The Spanish article also uses that spelling: es:Gallimathias musicum. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:13, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- It looks like Google autocorrects the version with two l's to the version with one of them. Also, (although this should definitely not be used as a serious reason) Google turns up around 3 thousand more hits for the version with one "l". Internet forums seem to be more or less split between the two spellings, although iTunes favors two l's, as does Amazon. APerson (talk!) 02:17, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- The German and English Wiktionaries have both (de:Wikt:Galimathias, de:Wikt:Gallimathias, Wikt:galimatias, Wikt:gallimatias) and I can't see any preference at the German Wiktionary; the English seems to prefer the one-L version. I realise it's not clear cut, but as this article is about the Mozart composition, we should be following the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:09, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Given that, I support the move of the article. Moving it right now. APerson (talk!) 23:29, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- I'm afraid it's still not quite correct; it ought to be Gallimathias musicum (with a lowercase "m"). Unfortunately, the previous move necessitated an edit to that former REDIRECT, so a further move will require administrator assistance. I've flagged Gallimathias musicum with the template:db-move. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:55, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
