Hi Cheryl and welcome to Wikipedia! I've written some advice for past students in your class at Longy which you might find helpful. You'll find it here. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page ( User talk:Voceditenore), or place {{helpme}} here on your talk page, ask your question, and another editor will come along to help. You might also be interested in WikiProject Classical music, WikiProject Composers, and WikiProject Opera. They have various guidelines for articles in this area and talk pages where you can ask advice from editors experienced in writing articles on classical music and related subjects. You'll find these guides particularly useful: WikiProject Composers: Guide to online research and WikiProject Composers: Copyright guidelines. Happy editing and best wishes, Voceditenore ( talk) 07:16, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Me again. I wanted to let you know about another resource for beginners— Wikipedia's Teahouse. It's a place providing great support for new editors. You can ask questions (no question is too basic) and get helpful answers and advice from experienced editors. Best wishes, Voceditenore ( talk) 07:16, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
Voceditenore, thank you for your kind welcome! I intend to add information (or is it proper to say "add articles"?) about Clara Schumann's compositions to Wikipedia. Currently, there is an adequate biography of her, but nothing that details her compositions in the following manner. Étude Op. 10, No. 6 (Chopin). My big concern now is that even with a stack of books from the library, I won't be in a position to provide sufficient information for an article to avoid being labeled a stub, or even summarily deleted. The books I'm using are only about Robert Schumann, and Clara is an afterthought, and that is with me having cleaned out a conservatory library of anything labeled "Schumann!" I will likely be able to at least speak to when she wrote a particular (major) composition from those sources. But what about providing information on things like movement, structure, or text? At school, I'd go to IMSLP or to the library for a score, open it, and use my own eyes. That seems to smack of original research, though. Can you please advise on that, as well as how much information avoids stub-status?
