Original concerns
  • 1864 – The Petite messe solennelle was first performed in a mansion in Paris, 34 years after Gioachino Rossini (pictured) retired as a composer.
    There is no mention of "mansion" in the article. Article lede has "at the couple's new home in Paris" and later, "first performed on 14 March 1864 at the couple's new residence in Paris, the hôtel of Louise..." (which was perhaps a Hôtel particulier, the ref calls it the "newly built Paris town house). JennyOz (talk) 23:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    He composed the piece in 1863, so wasn't "retired as a composer"? To me, the item reads as if the piece sat in abeyance, unperformed for 34 years. The article has "34 years after writing his last opera" and also that "he composed several pieces of chamber music" during that time.
    "retired as a composer" could change to 'retired from composing operas', but there seems no connection between writing operas and a mass? Or remove the mention of being retired? JennyOz (talk) 23:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd drop the "retired" bit. "Mansion" is just shorter than "the couple's new home", - how is "in a private residence in Paris"? - If more is wanted we could use that Rossini counted the mass among his "sins of old age", as the DYK said. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Or even "first performed in Paris" would do. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 00:13, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That was done but misses the key point: that it isn't the typical mass, for a church, with big choir and orchestra, but an intimate but long piece for 12 singers (like the evangelists, of three sexes - they still had castratos), piano and harmonium. - If you change nothing else please make it "opera composer", instead of composer. My story goes like this. I listen to the desolate Agnus Dei and think of Vami_IV. Dona nobis pacem. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:26, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
