According, as I recall, to Cuthbert Girdlestone (Mozart and his Piano Concertos), "nach Paris" - Leopold's words- might mean not "for Paris" but rather, "from Paris" as in, just back from. (Also, it's B♭, not B nor, on Wikipedia, Bb.) Also, it's not at all clear whether the 18th or 19th concerto was meant. "The identity of the herrliches konzert must remain a mystery."

von Paradis / Paradis edit

In sources on Anton Franz Mesmer, in which she plays a prominent role due to his treatment of hers leading to his 'exile' from Vienna, she is always mentioned as just Paradis, not 'von' Paradis. Which is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxMimomus (talkcontribs) 15:12, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Weber edit

Thanks to User:Maestroukr for his enlightening addition to the article. I had no idea the piece was lifted almost note for note from the Weber Sonata. Ravpapa (talk) 14:47, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have checked it, and it certainly is not "note for note", Duskin's piece being 50% longer.--Aristophile (talk) 14:36, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
The first half of the Sicilienne is note for note lifted from the Weber sonata. The second half is, as far as I can tell, Dushkin's own. It certainly is not taken note for note from the Tchaikowsky third string quartet - in fact there is hardly even a passing resemblence. @DCLawyer attributes this to a blog post on Reddit, not what we consider to be a reliable source here on Wikipedia.
