Interpretation?

Latest comment: 15 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Can we get a source for "musical interpretation of the traditional salut d'amor" in the caption? The article on Elgar's piece doesn't say this. Srnec (talk) 04:18, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Probably because I made it up:) I had no idea what it was, but I thought that generic group of words might muddle it enough to stave off any questions about the relationship until I could learn. But the article does need a picture, and Elgar's piece does have Salut d'amor in the title, so I thought that there has to be some sort of connection between the two. If you want to run it off the page, I won't argue and will give you kudo's for catching my laziness. Mrathel (talk) 04:36, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you think a more generic image of a troubadour such as [[File:Hans Makart Nymphe und Troubadour.jpg]] would work better? I really should stay away from this article as I know nothing about troubadours save Pound's work on Bertran de Born, but somehow it caught my eye.Mrathel (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC).

While a beautiful picture, it's not directly on topic. There are several pictures of composers of saluts, however: see Raimon de Miraval, Raimbaut d'Aurenga, Amanieu de Sescars, Arnaut de Maruelh. Srnec (talk) 06:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Very well. I will leave it up to you, since you know more than I, as to which picture would work best with the article. I really thought the information in the article provides a good general discussion of the term and deserved a higher than start assessment, but I could not find enough article elements to move it to C, which is how you ended up with my intrusive, half-cocked attempt to split it into sections and give it a relevent picture. I appologize, and am putting myself in Time Out for a bit to gather my wits before helping anyone else:) Mrathel (talk) 06:12, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
