These are articles that I've spent a fair amount of time working on. Many of them were started by other editors, or have substantial contributions from other editors. Mostly I want to put them all in place to help guide future editing.

edit- Missa brevis (Haydn)
- Der krumme Teufel
- Il ritorno di Tobia

- Symphony No. 45 (Haydn) Farewell.
- Symphony No. 82 (Haydn). Bear. One of the best late symphonies, I feel, especially the finale.

editBiographers and scholars
editMozart
editBiography
edit- Mozart's nationality. What a chore -- people get really worked up about this, hard to just put down a sensible explanation.
- Mozart's name. A big can of worms. Indeed, in the end the world got it wrong, and there are futile efforts from time to time to start using his real name.
- Mozart's Berlin journey
- Death of Mozart
- Mozart's personal catalog of works
- Mozart and dance
- Mozart and smallpox
- Mozart's compositional method
- Mozart and the Catholic Church
- Biographies of Mozart
- Mozart and scatology
- Friedrich Schlichtegroll

Kin
edit- Leopold Mozart
- Maria Anna Mozart -- a hard topic; need to be fair to her without lapsing into the trap of saying things are true you wish were true. Ruth Halliwell's book The Mozart Family is essential here, I think.

editScholarship
edit- Reception history This already existed but it needed more Music 101 treatment, I feel.
- Urtext edition
- Nachlass
Other other
edit- Kindertotenlieder. Totally unlike me to edit Late Romantic but I love this piece.
- Iambic tetrameter. For better or worse, I have often indicated the meter of poems serving as the lyrics of classical works.
- String section. This swelled up uncontrollably, alas ...
- Vertical viola In same category as Cristofori, the clever instrument inventor ...
- Fulda Symphonic Orchestra. They are probably not notable but made quite a few of our classical sound files.
Move me
editRandom topics
editI try to avoid this -- best to stick with areas where one has read a lot.
- Anne Darwin I had just read a wonderful biography of her father by Janet Browne and wanted to channel it.
- Jeffrey Shuren -- prompted by outrage after I read an exposé of him in the New York Times. This was ill-judged; other editors had to clean it up.
- Confluence Somehow the idea of a confluence seems very beautiful to me. No one field covers all aspects of confluences, so amateurs leap in.
- Jesus H. Christ I find this oath funny and, somehow, touching. Close connections to Mark Twain. The topic attracts many teenage edits and I finally got tired and took it off my watchlist.
Lots of editors
editI've also been involved in a few articles that have attracted editorial attention from many other editors. These articles live up more closely to the Wikipedia ideal of collaborative creation; I've tried to be helpful.

- Mozart
- The Marriage of Figaro
- The Magic Flute
- Austro-Turkish War (1788–1791)
- Symphony No. 31 (Mozart)
- Mozart and Prague
- Eine kleine Nachtmusik

- Beethoven
- Symphony No. 1 (Beethoven)
- Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven) Ick, people obsess on the origin of the name. It's actually a pretty amazing sonata.
- Fidelio
--
- Theater an der Wien
- Andrea Luchesi. Hardly any of my words now. But back when, involved in the struggle to remove the contributions of conspiracy theorists.
- Historically informed performance. Hard to make myself go back to edit this; there are haters on WP as well as the real world. Their loss.
- Incipit. Many kinds, I just did musical ones.
--
- Harpsichord
- Fortepiano
- Bow (music)
- Hieronymus Albrecht Hass. Mostly by editor Clavecin.

- Goldberg Variations This article does not lack for editors ...
--
- Innovations in the piano
- Aliquot stringing. Piano inventors are really clever.
- Piano wire. A glorious history of technological innovation. Alas, the article attracts hordes of editors for whom strangulation is the only point of interest.
--
- Program music. Again, it needed some Music 101 content.
- Wien (river) Not my business really but it does flow by the Theater an der Wien.
- Siciliana
- Susan McClary
- Elaine Sisman
- Scholarly method

- Jesus H. Christ. Fascinating. But just too much inflow; I've taken it off my watchlist.
- Dr. Seuss. I'm a fan. But I doubt I'll ever return to editing this.
- Sacred Harp. And various satellite articles. I've given up editing in this area, so haven't listed any of them.
- Lowell Mason I enjoyed putting in Joel Cohen's wonderful trash of him.
