[edit]( )
... that Antonín Dvořák could not conduct his symphonic poem A Hero's Song in Budapest because of a nervous breakdown?

- Thank you for that, but I've realized I made a mistake. Dvorak actually could not conduct it in Berlin, but he was able to conduct it in Budapest. I've struck out the original hook, here's the fixed alt. Focus (talk) 16:52, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

- Good catch. The line was confusing because the following one mentions Budapest, but it is clearly in Berlin based on his letter. I noticed in the article you have the name of the poem in italics, but here you do not. I looked at similar poems and they all seem to be in italics. If this is correct, please change it to italics here as well. --Odie5533 (talk) 18:37, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. Even though most classical works do not have their titles italicized, most tone poems seem to, so I assumed that was the convention when writing the article. I've changed ALT1 to reflect this. It should now be completely accurate. Focus (talk) 19:09, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Update: MOS:MUSIC#Classical_music_titles supports the italics, so it is indeed correct. Focus (talk) 19:18, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
