Talk:Telisha

This article is interesting, but is absolutely full of things that seem to be independent research. Some of them I would venture to call wrong, but independent research in any event.

  • "This is because they are never linked to the following note as a single phrase." Sounds like an odd claim, but anyhow, reference?
  • "the latter of which has a longer melody and higher peak". Would depend on which nusach, Ashkenazi, Sefardi, etc., and is not true for the way I usually hear it (Ashenazi, where they both have five notes and the only difference is that the last note is a little higher for the Gedola.
  • "While the names "Telisha Ketana" and "Telisha Gedola" are 6 syllables each, they are usually applied to words with far fewer syllables..." Makes no sense; who cares how many syllables there are in the name for the cantillation mark? Maybe means the melody, but (a) that depends on Ashkenazi, Sefardi, etc., and (b) isn't six syllables in any of them AFAIK.
  • "In one-syllable words, only the notes leading to and from the peak are included." Never heard of this before, and I'm pretty sure I've heard it read differently. In any case, needs a reference.

There are many different musical traditions for the cantillation, and I don't understand what is being done here. MikeR613 (talk) 13:36, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
