Credibility

[edit]

I find some of the claims, especially in the "Works" section, hard to believe, for example, the seamless melding of folk and Baroque, the universal acclaim of both critics, the projected European "hit" status, the brilliance on all accounts, etc. This can't all be strictly neutral, or for that matter, credible. I ought to be familiar with this composer, but when listening to music, I'm not very good at focusing on names. I've sung plenty of sacred Baroque Christmas music, so if his Christmas mass is truly without equal, I must have sung it, but I don't recall the name. That was all about sixty years ago, alas.

This, too, is hard to take: "His extensive musical works include a few textbooks in manuscript. The so-called Žilinský kancionál (ca. 1770) contained two manuscript textbooks." Really! A "musical work" containing not one, but two, textbooks?! And what could "extensive" mean? Also, I've never heard of "Classicist". Baroque music preceded Classical music. And what does passional mean? Funfree (talk) 07:25, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Following the link to "Works by Pascha", I found one mass, and five songs (from a book whose title says 25 songs)! Funfree (talk) 07:38, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Pascha's education

[edit]

An awful lot of sites are taking their information from Wikipedia, but Eastern European cities, at least, aren't claiming he was educated in "civil" in Bombay, India. Not yet! Funfree (talk) 09:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
