Incorrect attribution of librettist

Post by Heinemusik »

Two songs by Joseph Sucher, "Im Rosenbusch" and "O dass doch hier kein Frühling weilet", have their words incorrectly attributed to Heinrich Heine, both in the original publication (Sucher-Album) and on their respective work pages. Both poems are actually by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798-1874). See the 1887 edition of Hoffmann von Fallersleben's "Gedichte" in Google Books:

pages 4 (Im Rosenbusch) and 113 (O dass doch hier)

Not sure whether both correct and incorrect attributions should appear on the work page, and if so, where.

Thanks,
Peter

Thanks for catching this. I've corrected the entries on both work pages.
