I did some cleanup (5 August 2006) removing weasel words, and adding a source (Alan Walker). If more cleanup needs to be done, please let me know. Rolf-Peter Wille 05:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about editing Wikipedia pages or anything, but I believe that Triumph of Death came earlier than 1355 and actually predated the outbreak of the Black Death. -- Sam

Since neutrality and objectivity seem to be entirely important here, I'd like to suggest a revision of this article's treatment of the source material in respect to morality. The writer seems to be looking down on Liszt's "Obsession with Death" while continually, and unnecessarily, emphasizing the moral importance and correctness of the religious lessons being taught by the paintings. Once the article is done detailing the importance of not seeking the "vain...glories of earthly life" there isn't much room at all that is used to speak of the actual work in question.

Reference to the ballet Dracula

This work was used in Dracula, the 1997 ballet, Choreography by Ben Stevenson Music by Franz Liszt, in an arrangement by John Lanchberry

What about the work itself?

I see no references about the music. Most of the information is about the theme of death. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deafussy (talk • contribs) 16:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Extant versions link to De Profundis

This contained a link to De Profundis, which in turn redirected to Psalm 130.

In disambiguating De Profundis in order to accomodate Oscar Wilde's work of the same name, I discovered this link. I have therefore changed the link to [[Psalm 130|De Profundis]] in order to retain the existing link chain. But I have to say I don't really understand the sense of the link, and I'm concerned this may actually have been a mislink to start with. Perhaps somebody who knows more about classical music than I could take a look. -- Starbois (talk) 13:13, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dies Irae = Day of anger

I think that Dies Irae means day of anger rather than judgement day... This is nonetheless to double-check before modifying as I am not a latin-speaker.
