@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: Cannot find any mentioning of Giovanni Hoffmann in [1]. What was the actual source for this article? --FordPrefect42 (talk) 12:48, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@FordPrefect42: An earlier edition contains an entry for Hoffmann. Copyright date's the same, but I can't find it on Google Books. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:16, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More information is here, and there are tons of sources in the German Wiki article, it would appear. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:19, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: Many thanks for your answer. The article on German Wiki is my own work, therefore I was trying to cross-check with the source given here. I was confused about the editions of Greene, as Google Books states the same ISBN as for the hardcopy edition, although publishers are different. I suppose the details in the ebook are not quite accurate in this respect – the preface says "All content copyright © 1985-2007 by The Reproducing Piano Roll Foundation". I was furthermore confused because you cited Greene as "Biographical DICTIONARY of Composers", but it seems there is no publication with this exact title. The proper title is rather "Biographical ENCYCLOPEDIA of Composers". Kind regards --FordPrefect42 (talk) 09:41, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@FordPrefect42: You're right...I got the title wrong when I entered it. Apologies. As for the e-book, I'm aware of it without having ever used it; if memory serves it's an updating that was published after his death by a fan. I don't know much more about it beyond that. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:38, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
