Martial-v-marital
An IP altered this: "One of the young girls is selected by fate, being twice caught in the perpetual circle, and is honoured as the "Chosen One" with a martial dance" to change "martial" to "marital". I reverted the change but on second thoughts unreverted it. I'm not at all sure which is appropriate here, and would be glad of other editors' thoughts. Tim riley talk 13:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'd suggest we just say she's honoured with a dance. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:06, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Am meeting SchroCat, Ian Rose and Cassianto this evening at the Wehwalt Arms, where many happy hours were spent in the company of Brian Boulton, onlie begetter of this article. We shall raise a glass to him. Tim riley talk 14:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well I don't think a marriage is part of the story at all, so 'marital' seems out of place. I assume BB's use of 'martial', was to evoke the warlike, intense atmosphere of the music, which seems fair-enough. If it is removed alla Nikkimaria, I'd suggest another synonym in its place, since the word "dance" alone may not properly convey the rather startling intensity it includes. Although I am a bit embarrassed to write this much about a single word! Aza24 (talk) 17:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- ”Martial” or just “dance” would be my thoughts, but how do the sources describe it? That’s normally the best place to get a proper steer. - SchroCat (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, all. I've listened to the composer's recording and to Boulez's and have replaced the adjective with "forceful". No WP:RS for this, but I think my tinkering will pass muster. Tim riley talk 20:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Score changes
Can somebody please check if the two edits to scores (violin to cello and tuba to trombone) made on 11 March are correct? JennyOz (talk) 05:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Choreography "long believed lost"
It says Nijinsky's choreography was "long believed lost", then makes a suspiciously quick jump to talking about the Joffrey Ballet.
Unless we name the person who found Nijinsky's choreography, and say precisely where and when they found it, it's a safe bet that it was never found, and that the attempted re-creation was pure guesswork. TooManyFingers (talk) 21:14, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- Have you considered reading the article? This is thoroughly covered in the main text. Tim riley talk 06:10, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
