Talk:A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Bruckner, Anton

Bruckner's birthplace

edit

The text (in the scan and its transcription) says, “BRUCKNER, Anton, organist and composer, born Sept. 4, 1824 at Ausfelden (Upper Austria) […]”. But “Ausfelden” doesn't exist; the correct spelling of Bruckner's birthplace is “Ansfelden” (see i.a. 1911_Encyclopædia_Britannica/Bruckner,_Anton).
Concerning this matter, I have made an HTML-comment (<!-- … -->) in the source code on Page:A_Dictionary_of_Music_and_Musicians_vol_4.djvu/582. Because that comment is invisible to the visitor of the page A_Dictionary_of_Music_and_Musicians/Bruckner,_Anton, I would regard the following modification of the source as more useful: “BRUCKNER, Anton, organist and composer, born Sept. 4, 1824 at A[…][n]sfelden (Upper Austria) […]” I think, this would be rather bulky but in compliance with the quotation guidelines.
