Talk:Lodovico Zacconi

Lucovico vs Lodovico

The article Lucovico Zacconi contains less information than the article on Lodovico Zacconi. I may be wrong, but as far as I can tell they are the same person. RedZebra 06:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

On closer inspection it appears that another contributor suggested the same in March 2006 [1] but to no avail as the tag was later removed with the note that the merger took place [2]. However, both articles seem to have continued to exist independently. RedZebra 07:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Composer project review

I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. The article is B-class, but I suspect more can be written about the man and his work. The full review is on the comments page; questions and comments can be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 01:36, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

==Composers Project Assessment of Lodovico Zacconi: 2008-12-17== This is an assessment of article Lodovico Zacconi by a member of the Composers project, according to its assessment criteria. This review was done by Magicpiano. If an article is well-cited, the reviewer is assuming that the article reflects reasonably current scholarship, and deficiencies in the historical record that are documented in a particular area will be appropriately scored. If insufficient inline citations are present, the reviewer will assume that deficiencies in that area may be cured, and that area may be scored down. Adherence to overall Wikipedia standards (WP:MOS, WP:WIAGA, WP:WIAFA) are the reviewer's opinion, and are not a substitute for the Wikipedia's processes for awarding Good Article or Featured Article status. ===Origins/family background/studies=== Does the article reflect what is known about the composer's background and childhood? If s/he received musical training as a child, who from, is the experience and nature of the early teachers' influences described? ok ===Early career=== Does the article indicate when s/he started composing, discuss early style, success/failure? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed? ok ===Mature career=== Does the article discuss his/her adult life and composition history? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed? ok ===List(s) of works=== Are lists of the composer's works in WP, linked from this article? If there are special catalogs (e.g. Köchel for Mozart, Hoboken for Haydn), are they used? If the composer has written more than 20-30 works, any exhaustive listing should be placed in a separate article. His compositions are not even discussed, only his theoretical work. ===Critical appreciation=== Does the article discuss his/her style, reception by critics and the public (both during his/her life, and over time)? perhaps if more were said about his music. More could probably be said to establish the historical importance of his theoretical work. ===Illustrations and sound clips=== Does the article contain images of its subject, birthplace, gravesite or other memorials, important residences, manuscript pages, museums, etc? Does it contain samples of the composer's work (as composer and/or performer, if appropriate)? (Note that since many 20th-century works are copyrighted, it may not be possible to acquire more than brief fair use samples of those works, but efforts should be made to do so.) If an article is of high enough quality, do its images and media comply with image use policy and non-free content policy? (Adherence to these is needed for Good Article or Featured Article consideration, and is apparently a common reason for nominations being quick-failed.) No sound or images. Are illustrations available of his magnum opus? ===References, sources and bibliography=== Does the article contain a suitable number of references? Does it contain sufficient inline citations? (For an article to pass Good Article nomination, every paragraph possibly excepting those in the lead, and every direct quotation, should have at least one footnote.) If appropriate, does it include Further Reading or Bibliography beyond the cited references? Article is referenced; no inline cites. ===Structure and compliance with WP:MOS=== Does the article comply with Wikipedia style and layout guidelines, especially WP:MOS, WP:LEAD, WP:LAYOUT, and possibly WP:SIZE? (Article length is not generally significant, although Featured Articles Candidates may be questioned for excessive length.) ok ===Things that may be necessary to pass a Good Article review=== Article requires more inline citations (WP:CITE) Article needs (more) images and/or other media (MOS:IMAGE) ===Summary=== Judging by my Google Books search, it seems like more can be written about Prattica di Musica and its impact. It may be there is also more to write about Zacconi, too; at least two musicological history snippets I looked at alluded to a putated autobiography (the allegations seeming to arise mainly out of portions of the Prattica's second volume). The article could use an image, especially an attractive page from the Prattica. There are no inline cites. Article is B-class; I suspect more content is possible.
