Game: What's another year - Fixing Wikipedia

Moderator Note:
I moved these posts from the current What's another year game because although they are extremely helpful, they do make monitoring the progress of the game difficult for me. We can use this thread from now on for the next scheduled games.

The first year of focus is 1919.



Will do from now on. If I forget, give me a nudge.
I edited Wikipedia 1919 page. There were some serious omissions, like Sibelius' 5th symphony or Elgar's Cello concerto. Maybe we can use this as an opportunity to improve Wikipedia. I don't know about other important works from 1919, but there are definitely more.

Iannotta, Clara - Dead Wasps in the Jam-Jar (III) string quartet; computer (sinusoidal signal)
Iannotta, Clara - paw-marks in wet cement (ii)

Srnka, Miroslav - Emojis, Likes and Ringtones
One hopes that the jam was all eaten up - and that the jar was already empty - prior to the wasps dying.
If not, then I'm unable to imagine world-class string quartet ensembles competing with each other to savor such an appetizing concoction.
What's the next morsel from Clara Iannotta? "Maggot-infested waste baskets"?

... and Miroslav can't get social media and mobile devices off the brain. Next: "Do Orange Androids dream of Apple i-phones?" :p

Olivier Messiaen - Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps

The Quartet for the End of Time was completed in 1941 according to Wikipedia.

Thanks for the info.
I have only one recording of Messiaen's Quatuor on Disques Pierre Verany, whose CD booklet notes is where I had gotten 1940 from.

Curiously, the earlier Cybelia disc (which I don't have) even posits the year 1940 on the front cover!



What shall Moderator Art Rock decide?

This one is indeed a bit confusing. We might need some extra supervision.
From what I found on line the only clear dating is that it was premiered on January 15, 1941. Even the Britannica is not clear on when the composition was finished.
I went to the liner notes of my CD (Beroff et al, EMI), and they state "Messiaen composed this Quatuor pour le fin du Temps during the last months of 1940 and the first days of 1941". Let's go with 1941 for this work.

Just for info, 2018 was my last round. I want to concentrate on my own listening projects. Those 20 rounds were great, though, and I discovered several interesting composers I didn't know about.

Feel free to jump back in any time - I don't think we will be finished with this one before mid 2024.

For the upcoming 1922 game, would the Ravel orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition, which was completed in 1922, be an acceptable nomination? Typically I wouldn't nominate an orchestration in place of the original work, but this one is so iconic and is arguably more popular than the original piano work by Mussorgsky.
I list both the original and the Ravel orchestration separately in my overview of all-time favourite pieces for the same reason. So, yes, I'd allow it.

The Berio Sinfonia was completed in 1969 according to the wiki page for that work. The IRCAM site has it listed in 1968 incorrectly I believe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinfonia_(Berio)

Edit: On further research, it looks like an initial version with 4 movements was completed and premiered in 1968 The fifth movement was added in 1969. I guess it's Art Rock's call on which year is appropriate for this game.
