My story today is sad but great. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:40, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Do you still translate awards articles? The two red links among his deserve an English version, per recepients, - I think. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

A few more pics, and see my talk for what we sang today, and what Tabea Zimmermann played (today's story on her birthday): I heard it, and it's on YouTube. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Figaro at Oper Frankfurt was fascinating! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:08, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Today, it's a place that inspired me, musings if you have time. Thank you for your help with the artist's article! My corner for memory and music has today a juxtaposition of what our local church choirs offer. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

A Romanian woman composer is today's topic. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:08, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I thought of Brian Bouldton today, and his ways to compromise. - I'm on vacation again, more pics to come, but too tired after church (pictured on my talk), hiking and paella. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I ran into an edit conflict, and too much you changed to just ignore it, also most will be good. I don't agree with deleting unsourced information at this point. We just begin to find sources, no? Everybody can see that it isn't sourced (yet), but if deleted we may forget to even look for one.

Can we do the following: I'll solve the last conflict, and then leave for a while? - I do want to nominate today but it's not a last minute urgency. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:45, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ok, sorry about that. Grimes2 (talk) 13:48, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I see that you have used citation bot to add dates to references to numismatics.org.uk webpages here. I am not familiar with the bot, so could you explain what the dates mean? The pages seem to be updated regularly. TSventon (talk) 14:26, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Reverted. I think the bot is wrong. I've reported the problem at the Citation bot discussion page. Grimes2 (talk) 14:45, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for checking. Michael Metcalf was the first article I wrote, so it is good to see someone else taking an interest. TSventon (talk) 17:02, 15 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I proudly remember having sung in an oratorio premiere seven years ago OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:34, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

More, if you like: today I have three items on the Main page, almost too much of a good thing! Bach's amazing cantata with the unusual scale, first performed 300 years ago OTD, the nun for the prostitutes, and Schumann's wedding gift for Clara. Also first day of vacation pics uploaded. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:00, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Today is St. Martin's Day, which stands for sharing. Sharing one more day of vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:07, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

I began another day of vacation pics, with the deepest blue of the sea ;) - we celebrate the birthday of a friend who wrote quite a book about the compositions of a man who will turn 300 soon. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:15, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Is there a chance for International Hilde Zadek Competition [de]? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

My story today is a DYK hook from 13 years ago OTD: about the great music at one of my churches, and you know it. Mozart's Requiem to come on Sunday, coupled with Arvo Pärt's Fratres and Da pacem Domine, - come if you have time. Did you see the video of our last production, our first on yt, ever. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

What a story! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 24 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I see you are a member of WikiProject Awards. I’m seeking feedback on some suggested updates to the Academy of Achievement page. I have a conflict of interest, would you be able to do a review? Jarc12030 (talk) 19:33, 22 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Today's story is about Maria Callas, on her centenary. - Aaron Copland died OTD, and Jerome Kohl (mentioned in November) said something wise on Copland's talk. - Thank you for fixing my entry of a wonderful concert of the hr symphony with Altinuglu, in a great hall and facing him! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:43, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I did visit hr symphony with Altinoglu on 23 November 2023 at Alte Oper. Almost the same program. Grimes2 (talk) 16:56, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Good! Just the hall on the island in the Seine is the much better hall for them, - too bad it's so far away. Even when you are already in Paris, it's a long trip (and the last leg back was walking because the Metro didn't run due to an accident) - but worth it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry for your inconvenience in Paris. The acoustics in the Alte Oper isn't that bad. Grimes2 (talk) 19:18, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Today, I managed to get the pics to snow (on 28 Nov), and heard a lovely concert, after listening to a miracle of meditative dreaming on 6 December (or just click on music). (And driving home, it was another Altinnoglu concert live on radio.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

... and today, to Paris (29 Nov) with a visit to the Palais Garnier, - to match the story of Medea Amiranashvili, - don't miss listening to her expressive voice. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

My story today is about Michael Robinson, - it's an honour to have known him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:02, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for what you do and stand for! I wish you a merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Today, I have a special story to tell, of the works of a musician born 300 years ago. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Do you mean that you don't know who "he" is? - It would have ben easier if the hook had run in 2023. - Thank you for improving articles in January! I remember Ewa Podleś on the Main page, and had - believe it or not - two musical DYK today. Shalom chaverim.

Nice to see Widmer's page grow! - Today I am happy about a singer on the Main page (at least for the first hours), after TFA the same day last year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Interesting film documentation for Anne-Sophie Mutter's 60th birthday at ARD Mediathek: https://www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/dokus/videos/anne-sophie-mutter-vivace-video-100.html

Thank you. - Thanks to Seiji Ozawa. - Did you see the Helga Paris video (Scotland)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

... and today the woman and her views - just a few pics when you click on "look" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Fascinating. Grimes2 (talk) 08:39, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:07, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Listen to music from Ukraine if you like, - I heard it in 2022, and the November concert (at a different church) raised a truckload of winter clothes. My story today is also from my life: I heard the singer in 3 of the 4 mentioned musical items. I sang in yesterday's. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:06, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today's story celebrates a woman's birthday. She sat right in front of me when I took the picture at a lovely concert, celebrating her son's 60th. I thought she was 90 today, - no, 91 already. You can listen, starting at the piece he dedicated to her, Op. 1. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi - I see you've undone my reinstatement of the link to Romantic music on Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. I don't think the script should be catching that particular link as a "common term" so I've raised an issue at User_talk:Ohconfucius/script#"Romantic_music", please feel free to add your views there. Ligaturama (talk) 09:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

You are completely right, Baroque and Classical are linked, so should also be Romantic. Grimes2 (talk) 10:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Um, no one said it was. Are you ok, guy? Zaathras (talk) 00:33, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why does Babel (disambiguation) redirect to Babel? This is an error. Grimes2 (talk) 00:40, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

You’ve been here entirely too long to not know that we have a process for moving pages, and that replacing the content of a page is not it.

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. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:34, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Birthday of Leoš Janáček: I'm fan of On an Overgrown Path. Phantastic music for piano. And The Metamorphosis. Grimes2 (talk) 08:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Agree. 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. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:14, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

On a friend's birthday - she is pictured on my talk - I have RD death article that needs reviewing, Martti Wallén. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:56, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Too late, anyway the RD article is perfect. Found Lutherstrophe in German "Did you know?". Should also have an English article. Example: Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein Grimes2 (talk) 19:44, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Article created. Gerda, feel free to edit. Grimes2 (talk) 05:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, - looks good to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

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 if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:59, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Gülke and Kupfer, very good! Grimes2 (talk) 14:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! - 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 chamber music from two amazing concerts, and please check especially the clarinet quintet (17 June), because I believe that may contain the music Widmann played on the piano (sorry, no time right now to check where - if at all, second movement I'd guess, but not at the beginning). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

That's all new to me, macabre to beautiful. Except Mozart Clarinet Quintet, got that info from YouTube (1st movement, 1:39, Video on YouTube). Grimes2 (talk) 08:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Fine photo from Sabine Meyer and the Armida Quartet at the Rheingau Musik Festival. Should we use your photo for the Armida Quartet article? Grimes2 (talk) 17:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well, I hesitate because officially photo taking is not wanted, but we are not making money, so why not? - 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, and thank you for what you did already. Widmann is quoted in the Büning obit, - not good enough for the Rihm article, but perhaps good for his? - Plenty of music on my parents anniversary day ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart 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, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Did Isakadze play Shostakovich's violin concertos? I plan to write an article about Saariaho's trumpet concerto HUSH, her last: Video on YouTube. Grimes2 (talk) 10:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I wish I knew, - as you perhaps saw: just lists of conductors and colleagues, nothing yet about music. - Good plan! Schönberg's Op. 2 for me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Schoenberg op. 2: Dehmel's rhyme scheme seems to be ABCABCX,also 7-line strophe? Grimes2 (talk) 12:42, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

His name was Schönberg when he composed it ;) - but Schoenberg when he composed the concerto which she not only played but recorded. Still searching for better refs for Mendelssohn and Vivaldi than discogs. - Interesting, the Dehmel scheme. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

For seven-line poetry there are theoretically over 800 combinations, most of them unusable... Would like to add the scheme to the op. 2 article, but no source. You know: original research. Grimes2 (talk) 13:09, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

My thoughts: Dehmel's unconventional rhyming schemes are the germ for Schönberg's atonality. Trying all mathematically possible combinatiorns. A rhyme scheme ABCDEFG is apoetry! Grimes2 (talk) 13:41, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Gerda, you inspired me. My idea is to create analog to chromatic dodecaphony a diatonic heptaphony. I know dodecaphony has 48 serial rows. Grimes2 (talk) 20:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Interesting, yes, good analogy! - 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.

Thank you for the Met pic! Made me smile, and think of good performances I enjoyed there. - Today is the birthday of Alma Mahler. I believe that Siegfried Lorenz should be mentioned on the Main page among the Recent deaths, - has one support.

Thank you for thinking of him! 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. - There is a good article in the FAZ, with a somewhat similar image, - could you add from it to his biography?

Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:35, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I missed saying yesterday how much I liked that you helped bringing Rebecca Horn to the Main page! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

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) 20:54, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Have you seen the RD gallery on wiki commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Recent_deaths Grimes2 (talk) 13:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

no, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late), - back to your start of this thread! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Season opening in Alte Oper. For Schönberg's 150th birthday Verklärte Nacht with Daniele Gatti conducting the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden and standing ovations for a superb Mahler. Grimes2 (talk) 22:09, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sounds great - sang myself. Schönberg planned for next week ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:47, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

My story today is about a man who played jazz when it was banned by the Nazis, - you can listen to how they played it later. - Thank you for hook support, and deletion support, and referencing all the recordings. I believe that you could simply reference <nowiki>OCLC number, without all the almost distracting "author" names. - I'll travel tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's a problem with compilations. I solved the OCLC problem with |display-authors=3. Grimes2 (talk) 11:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! - I looked into Peter Tiboris, and hesitate to nominate for RD - too many of the references are not independent, and some things look referenced but aren't, see talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:18, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is a terrible article. I've rewritten and sourced large parts, but copyright violation is still obvious. Its better, not to nominate. Grimes2 (talk) 10:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

We agree. I really enjoyed the little yt I added, though ;) - much better than all the promotional speak. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

My story today features a pic I took from my position in the choir, I can also offer varied delightful music, some from Venice, also with pics I took, - note the rose in the clarinet ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:51, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

RoySmith (talk) 00:03, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! Can we also help Caterina Valente? You are known for referencing awards ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:36, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done Difficult task. Grimes2 (talk) 17:49, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I suggest that the Wikidata generated opera lists you recently created should be mentioned at Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera#Key articles and lists. They should probably also be in the Category:Opera-related lists. The lists I noticed are:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Operas list
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Baritones
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Basses
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Mezzo-Sopranos
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Sopranos
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Tenors

Cheers, Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:36, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the hint. But I don't know, how/where to insert these Wikidata generated opera lists. Would you please do it? Grimes2 (talk) 13:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:09, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for doing it. There is another list Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Countertenors. Is listed as voice type, but also as Fach. Grimes2 (talk) 14:10, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:22, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
