Who is Charles Burkhart (googling turns up <1,000 entries), and why are his comments notable? Further, why is he linked to? Runnerupnj 11:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Charles Burkhart, until recently professor at CUNY, is an internationally recognized expert on Schenkerian analysis and author of numerous music textbooks, especially ISBN 0155062182 Anthology for Musical Analysis. —Wahoofive (talk) 17:06, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Can you write a stub on him? It always looks funny when someone is cited as a reference and there is a red link on their name. Rigadoun 23:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Examples
It seems to me that a simple list of songs including codas will be too long and lacking organization; perhaps it is better to explain, on a song by song basis, which section is the coda and how it is differentiated from the rest of the song. Rigadoun 23:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Good suggestion. However, the examples section is not meant to be an exhaustive list - It's purpose is to provide the user with (only a couple of) examples, so that he/she can listen to them, and be satisfied with something more tangible than textual technical description of a musical phenomenon (Which is definitely an important and integral part of the page). Ideally, it should prod the user to listen to atleast one of the songs, making it amply clear what a coda is. --Amrishkelkar 14:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Codetta
This section starts off well, but after about the second sentence the musical terminology is so thick that it might as well be written in a foreign language to me, who is not musical at all. Someone who understands what this is about should rephrase it or translate it into English! Thryduulf (not signed in)
