Nationality edit

Since Kuhe was born in Prague, it's hard to see why he is described as German. Were his parents German, or should he be described as Czech, Austrian or Bohemian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bkesselman (talkcontribs) 18:35, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Since no one has noticed the above remark, I have changed Kuhe's nationality to Czech in the article. (His autobiography talks about the King of Bohemia, but Bohemian has other meanings.) Bkesselman (talk) 12:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Erwin Schulhoff edit

...was born in 1894. Kuhe studied with Tomasek in the 1840s and had Schulhoff as a fellow student apparently? My guess is that a source (Kuhe's autobiography, @archive.org?) mentioned that Kuhe and Schulhoff were fellow students- which I don't doubt was true- but the Schulhoff meant was Julius Schulhoff, who I believe was Erwin's uncle (and a well-known enough composer in his own time that no further explanation would have been needed- then! ) So removed the anachronistic "Erwin Schulhoff" - time machines lacking, it seemed unlikely - and replaced with the more likely Julius.
