Is a biography section appropriate in this article? The composer's article is quite thorough. -Tombrend (talk) 00:01, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It can be removed, since it is not specific to the Rosary Sonatas. Daniel Callejas Sevilla (talk) 13:14, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Resurrection Sonata - Visual Cross/Chi

My musicologist wife noticed that crossing the strings the way they are in Resurrection is less stable and not much easier than just taking the strings off and switching them, and that a likely purpose of crossing them this way is to form a literal cross or chi symbol. I haven't looked into it thoroughly, so I wanted to know if anyone has any knowledge of this being discussed. 216.15.119.146 (talk) 03:28, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tonny Conrad

It could be added that Biber's Rosary Sonatas were probably the sole European work to have an influence on early American minimalism. It was through playing them that violinist Tony Conrad formed an interest in alternative tuning, studied the subject, and introduced La Monte Young to just intonation, leading ultimately to the composition of Young's The Well-Tuned Piano, as well as the tuning activities of the Theatre of Eternal Music in general. The facts, drawn from my interview with Conrad, are presented on page 204 of my book Music Downtown (U. of CA Press), among other places, originally published in the Village Voice, April 28, 1998 (Vol. XLIII No. 17, pp. 141, 145). As it is my own book, Wikipedia's rules do not allow me to quote it. Kylegann (talk) 00:28, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
