From what I can tell Wilhelm Tell was from a place they spoke German, and thus, it seems reasonable to assume that Wilhelm was his name, not any of the forms given above, and thus it seems funny to reducing the credit for us who used the correct form of the name. Nevermind that the Italian composer did not use it - but nor did he use William. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
