The classification of Sigmund Romberg as a Jewish composer is mistakable. He didn't write Klezmer music. His parents had been German-speaking assimilated Jews in the Austro-Hungarian provincial town Großkirchen/ Nagykanizsa, indeed. But he left his home town without regret for the lively Vienna as a teenager. The operettas of Franz Léhar, Robert Stolz and Emmerich Kálmán were his real homeland there. And he lived for 42 years in the USA afterwards. He was a typical American citizen of the early 20th century: an immigrant and selfmade man. All artistic positions for young composers had been occupied by established musicians in Europe in 1909. It's safe to say that Romberg was glad to be in New York and that he was proud to be an American citizen. Sigmund Romberg was an American composer in the first place. His music was an exciting mixture of Vienna waltz and Tin Pan Alley hits. Unique! His operettas had almost consistently European plots but he minced the whole European music tradition through the American meat grinder thoroughly. The result was remarkable. Very American. -- Bogart99 17:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
It is an error to call The Whirl of the World an "operetta." Romberg started on Broadway as a composer of musical comedies, not operettas, and The Whirl of the World was a musical comedy with a revueish feel--lots of specialty bits and very little plot. This should be changed.

The article on Sigmund Romberg states that he was married to lyricist Dorothy Donnelly. The entry on Dorothy Donnelly reads: Donnelly was born in New York City where she died. She never married,[3] but did collaborate with composer Sigmund Romberg on a number of musicals, including, most famously, The Student Prince.

Did Romberg make a special study of Johannes Brahms's music? I only ask because I was at a concert this week, where Brahms's 2nd Symphony was played, and it occurred to me for the first time that the theme of "Serenade" from The Student Prince is a direct (possibly unconscious) steal from a motive leading into the theme of the first movement. Any thoughts? -- JackofOz ( talk) 21:25, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
User:Eversman has now twice categorised Romberg as Croatian ( diff1, diff1) with an edit summary: "When he left for US, he had Austro-Hungarian-Croatian citizenship …". There is no evidence in the article that Romberg as teenager or indeed his parents had such citizenship, if such a citizenship existed at all. The article on the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement doesn't mention it, and it's hard to imagine that Adam and Clara Rosenberga and their son would acquire a new citizenship by moving from one part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to another. I suggest to remove those categories. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 13:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
