Kauffmann, Fritz (1855-1934)

[Gareth Vaughan]

The last point you make, Alan, is very important. It is essential that this shameful misattribution be corrected.

Two of the concertos are in full score at imslp; Fleisher has the parts but they could be extracted without Fleisher...

[John Boyer]

I don't get into Wikipedia editing, but I think the last sentence of the plagiarism section of the Kauffmann entry should be changed from:

"The recognition of Kauffmann's symphony as plagiarism by Franke led to various similar identifications."

to

"The recognition of Franke's symphony as a plagiarism of Kauffmann led to various similar identifications."

[Gareth Vaughan]

Yes, John  that is clearer and better English.

After some absence from UC I have finally caught up with the Franke affair and with this thread on Kauffmann. May I say, most sincerely, heartfelt congratulations to all involved in exposing the abominable behaviour of the former and asserting the artistic rights and merits of the latter. What wonderful and talented people we have on UC. I am in awe!
