Unreferenced speculation about authorship edit

The following was added by an unregistered editor on the 23rd of March 2015. It has been placed here until some support (Though I doubt any exists.) can be found for the claims. Graham1973 (talk) 11:20, 26 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

What may be interesting is the variation in lyricism and structure of the individual movements. Could Johannes, Robert and Clara have joined in an enterprise to write a trio strictly as "a musical game," rather in the fashion of Mary Shelley, Shelley and Byron during an evening soiree? Interesting, as well, is the definite influence, seemingly, of Rheinberger, especially in the final movement, and this seems no mere coincidence. It is surprising that this connection has never been made. Rheinberger wrote four piano trios.

You did the right thing, Graham - this is pure, unadulterated OR - and mighty poor OR at that. This is exactly the kind of utter rubbish that serious editors need to be on the watch for and immediately remove from the articles. 98.67.184.209 (talk) 10:57, 14 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
