Here Zhao Mengfu depicts the changing seasons with profound vibrancy and delicacy. The artist brought the work to his friend Zhou Mi—who had been exiled for refusing to work in the Mongol-controlled court—in hopes of comforting him with a reminder of the home to which he will never return. Autumn Colors on the Qiao and Hua Mountains, Zhao Mengfu, 1295

The story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma Mahler (to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page ;) - Seeing that Copland was mentioned above in April: perhaps you are a person halfway neutral in infobox things and thus able to begin a discussion on Classical music about how to represent a composer's compositions in an infobox. There may be different ways, but omitting the works completely as for Schumann seems ignoring that they are in many cases key to a biography. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:13, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021. It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. Janáček's infobox has a list of his compositions, like Bach's, Mozart's, Beethoven's. Schumann had one for years, until one featured article writer removed it (and I noticed only after it was too late for a BRD revert and discussion). I don't want some formal arbcom clarification but find it not fair towards earlier editors of the improved article. I would go the the FAC but was uninvited and am obedient (sometimes). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:03, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Janáček is looking a lot better than I remember, seems like someone cleaned it up a few months ago Aza24 (talk) 21:00, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Libuše Domanínská, the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that ;) - Overnight, Tamara Milashkina became GA and Lando Bartolini went to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi in Il tabarro in Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod to Liberty) up to Calaf in Turandot in Beijing in 1999 ;) - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013, including a list of compositions. - Enjoy your time off. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Interesting, I've never heard of Il tabarro, it must be the least know of the trittico – Aza24 (talk) 04:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think Suor Angelica is even less known, because of an all-women cast. - With a Brian Boulton article on the Main page, and Gianni Schicchi in mind (which happened to be the second opera I saw on stage), the article about Il tabarro is a shame. If only days were longer ;) - I improved Liana Isakadze to at least decency, but more about music - instead of these laundry lists - would be desirable. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:45, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
ps: Mozart is related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, a bass and Isakadze. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Today's story is about an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:41, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I remember today Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
She's on the Main page now. My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:26, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I had no idea there was any possibility of truth to the "too many notes" remark! Well it certainly seems doubtful, I thought it was entirely the invention of the Amadeus movie. Aza24 (talk) 19:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
It certainly predates Amadeus, I think it was already mentioned in my music reader at school. I don't care, actually, as long as it gets readers interested in the music ;) - I discovered today the 1977 Kupfer version on yt. There are many notes in the piece which I recently saw in the theatre where Idomeneo premiered (click on "music"), take the long introduction before the soprano even begins to sing "Martern aller Arten" (tortures of all kinds). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers the chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
... and today's story begins with Psalm 124, paraphrased in 1524, and put to five (!) chorale settings in one cantata by Bach in 1724, for this Sunday. Nominated for GA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just a look at music (on my talk) shows remembrance of three people who died, and creating an article or improving one is all I can do. Three are on the Main page today, and three others planned ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:11, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Such an early death too! How sad... Aza24 (talk) 21:19, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes. Wikipedia:Main Page history/2024 July 30b will have a baritone, a violinist, a composer and a Bach cantata, - almost too much, and the composer's article, Wolfgang Rihm, should be better, help wanted. - Plenty of music on my parents anniversary day ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Aza! Been awhile. How have you been? ~ Silence of Järvenpää 00:20, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Nice to hear from you. Doing well, haven't had much motivation for bigger WP projects recently, so been working on smaller things. How are you doing? Aza24 (talk) 02:39, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Great! Glad you are well ... and even a low-motivation Aza makes important, necessary contributions to WP! You'll come around again to the bigger projects, as you once told me. I've been okay, too ... been working (somewhat surprisingly) on Peer Gynt in my sandbox. Seems like the most important non-bio Grieg article, along with the Piano Concerto. So, I thought I'd take a stab, only to discover that the discography is a difficult one to get a handle on ... incomplete suites, full suites, incomplete incidental music, complete incidental music sans dialogue, and finally the real deal (e.g., Ruud for BIS). It's been a fun exploration so far ... a lot of good music that didn't make the suites, such as Night Scene (Act V, Scene 6), Peer Gynt and the Herd-girls (Act II, Scene 3), and, my favorite, the reprise (Act III, Scene 4) of Åse's Death with spoken dialogue between Peer and his mother. Thanks for bringing Grieg's wiki-need to my attention. We'll chip away at it, bit by bit. Also, I'm about to move to the other side of the county, so lots of excitement (and stress) in my future! And I still owe you that email! ~ Silence of Järvenpää 13:55, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Peer Gynt is a worthy cause! It is most impressive to me that two artists of such eminence worked so closely together. But I suppose this is not too unexceptional: Picasso and Stravinsky; Beethoven and Goethe; even Lully and Molière. Have you heard Grieg's Holberg Suite? A really joyful set of lovely pieces! Aza24 (talk) 03:22, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, Aza! Wow, thanks for the education on the collaborations! I do like Peer Gynt quite a bit, and only recently, through this wiki-project, discovered the complete incidental music. (I guess Sibelius/Järnefelt and Sibelius/Paul don't quite reach those august heights! :P haha.) (By the way, please feel free to poke around and even contribute, should it pique your interest, to the PG draft I'm working on.) The Holberg Suite is excellent, too; I almost mentioned it in my previous post to you, in the same breath as PG and the Concerto, but then thought it didn't quite hit the same level. Would be nice to expand that one, too. ~ Silence of Järvenpää 13:28, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Aza, I just wanted to let you know that the bot closing the "Lists of UEFA club competition winning clubs" topic did not add the supplementary articles which were added as part of the removal discussion. These articles were the List of UEFA Conference League finals and the List of Intercontinental Cup (football) matches. I was just wondering if there was a quick way to fix this error. Kind Regards. Idiosincrático (talk) 02:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there @Idiosincrático. Thanks for this; you're quite right, I'll see what I can do. Aza24 (talk) 03:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Idiosincrático, I've now done so; did a mock nomination for archival purposes.
If you have a moment, could you check that Wikipedia:Featured topics/Lists of UEFA club competition winning clubs is laid-out properly? This is not a topic I know well, so the order of the articles in the topic box may not be ideal at the moment. Aza24 (talk) 20:50, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've adjusted the order slightly. Thanks for your help! Idiosincrático (talk) 23:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Syriac chant, would you be interested in a wikiproject on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 11:17, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Kowal2701, my contributions on the article you mention were solely citation formatting. Although my realm of music frequently crosses into oral tradition, I'm afraid my to-do-list is otherworldly in its scope, so I am hesitant to take on more. By the way, you posted on Midnightblueowl's talk page two times. Aza24 (talk) 21:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
My bad, thanks for letting me know Kowal2701 (talk) 06:45, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the exquisite list of works by Hildegard von Bingen. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:50, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your thanks :) I'll attempt to add individual links to the International Society of Hildegard at some point. Aza24 (talk) 22:52, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good idea! I did that for Reger works. - I fixed the link (hit "publish" too soon) to the pictures of "her". The nuns sing vespers at 5:30pm. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
That painting of Reger on the comp list is stunning! Is that Convent the one she founded? Aza24 (talk) 23:11, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes and no. She founded the convent at the location, but nothing of it remained after the monasteries were closed in the 19th century. The present building dates to around 1900, but they imagined Romanesque style. Her shrine is in the village church, in walking distance. A museum dedicated mostly to her is in Bingen, across the Rhine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:34, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Great job to you and Grimes2 on Jürgen Ahrend — I love the table of organs! Aza24 (talk) 21:55, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I loved the table that was there when I met the article, - actually there was almost nothing but the table, and in the table, not even the organs were linked, nor most of the churches, - it was a challenge. I was afraid a reference would be requred for every organ, but obviously the pics were enough. I was afraid someone would complain that the sons works don't belong in the father's bio, but no. (I would not have known where to put them. In German, the article is about the workshop.) - New pics, enormous clouds and a rainbow. A bit like on the Hildegard day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extraordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:45, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is extraordinary! My apologies on not responding to your email yet—things have been crazy here. I'll attempt to do so either tonight or tomorrow. Wanted to consider different ideas more thoroughly first. Aza24 (talk) 01:38, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
No worries! - Today's story is about education, 10 years OTD after lecturing our founder). Music for today's feast is Monteverdi's, the best concert we ever did (so pictured again on my talk), but it wasn't recorded, substituted with a "Pacific" one that comes with subtitles line by line in Latin and English: I learned something! - Latest places are in Frankfurt, the restaurant sadly closed in August. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I began translating St. Hildegard, Eibingen, and learned that it is the site of Hildegard's foundation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Today's story is about a stage director, - watch Aida, so tender so cruel. - Here's the happy librettist. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Did you know that my first DYK was 15 years ago OTD, about a friend of mine who had a red link? I just returned from a wonderful concert with only music I had never heard before, - the youngest composer (of 12, 2 of them women) born 1988 (a red link), heavenly from start to finish! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
That is an impressive program indeed! Aza24 (talk) 17:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
And today the festival kindly told us (listeners) what the encore was: Ben Parry's Flame, performed with the singers evenly distributed in the side aisles of the basilica, - I was close to a tenor who sang from memory. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sunday story about another of Bach's chorale cantatas, listen, as I listened to two impressive very different choral concerts, - music by 16 composers. In the latest cloudy pictures: a hidden deer, a cat and a blaze of a sunset. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:02, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Per an IP edit today, I looked at Alexander Goehr. Heavily edited by IPs and an all red-link user. Jerome Kohl consolidated in 2009, but it has grown since, looking very different from other composer articles, - hope he'll be blessed with a long life! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
He died today. Any help welcome. I just remembered him, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
(... and the DYK for his opera was the same day in 2019 as he now died.) Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Goehr now too?! Ugh. I'll try to look but am super busy this week – Aza24 (talk) 11:53, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I somehow knew with that first IP edit. (remember Kurtág?) - Probably one of his children, and with a user name now. - I'm at his article and just found that pretty much was copied word for word from Schott, and so just needs rephrasing (which is easier than finding plenty of different sources). I'll just comment out what's not referenced after the process but am now confident that enough will remain. Take your time. Did you see the Pachelbel pic discussion? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

update: he died on 25 August, we have now a good obit, and I can drop the superstition ;) - Do you have access to his Grove entry? Then you could just add the Williams 2001 ref to all facts it supports. I'll drop unreferenced stuff in a few days. Great concert tonight with Beethoven's Violin Concerto, pictured on my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:40, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the trimming! Just what I needed to nominate. Today is the birthday of Alma Mahler. I believe that Siegfried Lorenz should be mentioned on the Main page among the Recent deaths, and for him, it's the last day today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

... and he appeared! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:15, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nice! Aza24 (talk) 22:16, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Now to the other. Thank you for adding the writings! As I write this, there are 2 "citation needed", one for Boulez programming his works in his Paris concert series, the other for Arden Must Die. I must eat ;) - the best day for him to appear would be today but if we don't manage we can claim that his death was only known 26 August, winning one more day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Relief: posted ;) - The two bits are commented out. More could be had from new source, and from the timeline from Schott (which I hesitate to use though, because Op. 6 comes before Op. 1, and Op. 2 in memory of Prokofiev was written before he died. Perhaps Op. 6 was begun earlier, and the dedication came later, but such details don't show in a timeline). I'll be out for the rest of the day, take care of the article, please. Main page appearance is a mixed blessing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I hope my reply to your email got through. Can resend if not. Tim riley talk 16:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your part! What do you think of my short version of his life? I wanted to match the pic, and arrived at Brian's Monteverdi, nicely matching yesterday's Vespers. (Monteverdi dedicated it to the Pope on 1 September, and be performed it on 1 Septembe 2019.) I had forgotten the Poppea discussion that I revisited in the process ;) - Much ado about nothing. Do you think that the time has come for the opera to give the reader time and place at a glance, as 1000+ other operas do? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:08, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today's story has 3 composers, I couldn't decide for the one on the Main page or the one who didn't make it on his bicentenary, so took both, and the pic has a third. Listen if you have a bit of time. The music, played by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in Germany in April 2022 impressed me. - The latest places were museums in Frankfurt. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:28, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk)

Happier about Bach's cantata on the Main page on its 300th birthday (per calendar), my story (again)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Glad to see! I added the soprano's book to the further reading section of her great-grandfather. You could include the full citation on her page as well, if you want Aza24 (talk) 21:55, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, will do. - Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:03, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with a DYK hook from 2010 and another from 2014, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Today I think of a man who stood up for Peaceful Revolution, sadly because he died, and the cantata Bach composed for today's 16th Sunday after Trinity. That was not written by me, only marginally when I updated early beginnings. Then came Nikkimaria, then Francis Schonken, then - and mostly - Mathsci. The result is epic. I dream of making Bach's chorale cantatas a featured topic, so nominated it for GA (Francis and Mathsci can't.) You were the first one coming to my mind as a reviewer who could do justice to it. I know that you are busy, - what do you think? (Just explaining why I thanked you for a space earlier today.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Happy to talk a look! It may be a few days before I can get to a review on my end—hope that's okay. Haha I was wondering what that thank you was about! Aza24 (talk) 04:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Aza24:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points,     Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions;     BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months,     Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three,   BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)!   Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.
