Still living?[edit]

She'd be 93 now. We say she "was an Australian pianist", but don't give any date of death. -- JackofOz (talk) 08:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see she died this week. But we need a citation. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Her dogs[edit]

I'm sure she was very attached to her dogs. However, to the general reader of the article, this aspect of her life would be of next to no interest, and they are not what I would call encyclopedic.

Perhaps User:Robert Keane is the same person as her student Dr Robert Keane. If so, with the greatest respect, may I suggest a slightly more emotionally detached attitude to what constitutes a well-written and encyclopedic article. Otherwise, it's coming along very nicely and is becoming a fine tribute to a much-respected pianist. -- JackofOz (talk) 08:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beethoven or Schumann at Melbourne 1956 Olympics?[edit]

I note that User:Robert Keane has changed this from Beethoven's Emperor to the Schumann concerto, without a citation. I also read Nancy Weir's obituary in today's Age, written by a Dr Robert Keane, which states it was the Emperor that she played. Can either of these Drs Robert Keane come up with a citation, or explain why one Robert Keane is saying Beethoven, but the other Robert Keane is saying Schumann? -- JackofOz (talk) 14:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
