Talk:Irving Berlin

Age

In the WW1 section it says in 1917, Berlin was 30, but he'd be 29. Or is it supposed to be this way? 2603:8080:D400:7CD:2890:31AD:689D:148C (talk) 05:41, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Birth Name

On the current version of this page it lists at the top his birth name as "Rusha Picking". I cannot find a source for this anywhere. Everywhere else on the page lists his birth name as Israel Beilin. This seems like a problem. Sallysballs (talk) 15:06, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

It was just vandalism, by an IP. I've reverted it. Alarics (talk) 15:40, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

I ran across this doing some course work, and want to flag it for Wikipedia. Apologies that I do not have time right now to read up on the editing process. Thank you. Madeine (talk) 20:28, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Songwriting Methods

If he couldn't play in different keys, relying on levers of his transposing piano to go to keys other than F# major (and presumably D# minor), how could he have written the chord progressions to his tunes? Did he have someone to do that for/with him? Thewolf37 (talk) 10:33, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
