possible disagreement about founders

edit

[The English translation of] the French Wikipedia article André_Aisenstadt [the one I used was "courtesy of" Google Translate] gives a different list of the founders. Actually, it calls the school "la célèbre école de musique Malboro", which translates to [something like] "the renowned Marlboro Music School" -- which seems to omit mentioning any "festival".

I understand that this might be mainly some issue of misunderstanding, or mis-translation, rather than a (more substantive) disagreement about who really did the founding. I am not certain that any change is needed to (the English version of) this article. Maybe some digging in to the sources -- [which I don't have time for, right now!] -- would shed some light on what really happened, and the source (and the nature) of that "apparent" bit of ostensible disagreement, and it might lead to some ideas for what to do next -- including, perhaps, yielding [some suggestions for] some improvements to the above mentioned "fr.wikipedia.org" article about Dr. André Aisenstadt (The English Wikipedia currently gives a red link for "André Aisenstadt".... :-) HTH, --Mike Schwartz (talk) 19:27, 23 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
