Talk:Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians

Itīs usually referred to as "the New Grove" and the full name is "The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians"(although I donīt know what the Old Grove may have been). IMO the article should be moved to "New Grove". Kosebamse 21:55 26 May 2003 (UTC)
- I expect that both old and new can be discussed in the same article. Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians already has a link to it. That seems a good enough title to me... -- Oliver P. 22:03 26 May 2003 (UTC)
- I don't think "New Grove" or "Grove's dictionary" are ideal titles because they're both rather informal - like putting Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart under "Wolfie" (alright, not that bad, but you see what I mean). I don't think it much matters whether we call the article New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians or just Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians so long as one redirects to the other. I'll flip a coin and do the deed now. By the way, I've never heard the 2001 edition called the "2nd" before - it's always been the 7th. However, I see the Grove website calls it the 2nd, so I've just sort of surmised that this must be because they added the "New" when they brought out the "6th" edition (which was actually the 1st, even if nobody calls it that) and decided to start counting from scratch. Awkward buggers. --Camembert
- PS - there's also the Grove Dictionary of Art, so a precise title is good. --Camembert
