Is the 1927-28 quintet the same as the "Wolgaquintett" mentioned as composed(?) and published in 1931 ("Quintett (Wolgaquintett), für Pfte., 2V., Vla., Vcllo. [1931.] ... Wien, Doblinger." - see Hofmeisters Monatsberichte) ? Schissel | Sound the Note! 23:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

An article on the SWR2 website (Südwestrundfunk) refers to the quintet as being completed in 1928 and published in 1931.

You can find it here (in German):

and with a digital download of the Volga Quintet here:

Both "Maria" and "Marie" are used here more than once.

A list of musical works in alphabetical order is pretty useless, especially one that alphabetizes titles beginning with the article "The" (i.e., the German Das / Der / Die).

A more useful works list would almost certainly be chronological, and, equally important, separate works by genres (e.g., songs, piano music, chamber music, orchestral works) for starters. I am not familiar enough with this composer, however, to do so myself.

In the article: "Theresa wrote poetry that was put to Bach's music." There is a whole family of Bachs, not to mention JS Bach. If anyone knows which Bach was meant, it should be disambiguated. If it was Maria, write "Maria's music", which is consistent the mentions of the other sisters in this paragraph. Zaslav (talk) 06:15, 13 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
