Hello Gerda. I would just want you to know that I am very sorry for the ANI discussion I started earlier. I had been having some real-life stress lately and it felt like it may have affected my feelings on-wiki. I'm very sorry for the attitude I have shown you over the past few weeks. I very much appreciate your efforts on Misplaced Pages and your dedication to the project even if we disagree on many things, and I just want to let you know that despite everything that has happened you are still an editor I admire and respect. You are a net positive to DYK and while we may disagree on views, what we can agree on is that your articles are very informative and a net good to the project. Again, I am sorry for what I have done. Rest assured that regardless of our differences I support your efforts on Misplaced Pages to improve our coverage on classical music and Germany. ] (] · ]) 02:46, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

: ], still today, I'm on a train, the train has a connection (all things that can't be taken for granted): apologies for attitude accepted, but I hope that it really will change, because I felt it becoming a danger to diversity of information and freedom of speech. For those unfamiliar with the situation: we escalated over the hook for ], which was replaced in prep against my protest. That hook should not run, it's a triviality said about a living person who deserves merit for specific achievements. - I looked at the thread and found some gems of support there that I will place in my "blushing" cabinet, - thank you, all! --] (]) 10:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
::This is not an indictment of Naruto but like others on the AN/I thread I have found that Misplaced Pages seems to have become more hostile. I suppose one could surmise at least somewhat that it is born out of necessity. We appear to live at a time where I feel my thoughts on life and the way I wish to live life are going the way of faeries and dragons. Nobody cares, love is fleeting, and civility and affording basic human respect are more centered on your position in relation to mine rather than the fact you are a fellow human being. The cruelty is not AN/I or Naruto's position. The cruelty is everything that has led up to it. People are becoming less nice and we are told it is normal, discussions less civil but we are told to accept it. Where is the empathy?

Every time I visit your pages I end up having to learn about a lovely new cantata! Thank you so much for all your work. It's BWV 22 right now – what a gorgeous thing, despite the tragic lack of trumpets.
Hallo Gerda and thanks for completing drafts I involuntarily left behind. Still active on the French Wiki although at a much slower pace than before. <!--That '''you''', of all users, have been threatened to be blocked and possibly banned is beyond revolting. That is a good indication of what Misplaced Pages has become. - I wasn't. --> Like the Olympics in 1900, the aim and values were praise worthy then and now... <!--some Stasi like minded thugs have taken hold of the project. And to think I sent money several times to the French foundation. - my talk --> I still have fun translating articles from German and English under I.P though, the attribution issue being now completely meaningless.


I have a personally busy time coming up with Bach and some other guy called Handel and some other ''other'' guy called Telemann. Should be fun.
I post this message from a Parisian cybercafe so if any well meant sysop wants to delete it and block the E.P, who cares ?

::Uchida held us breathless at Snape Maltings a few years ago with a solo concert of the three final Beethoven sonatas. It seems somehow improper to comment on such a comprehensively personal and dynamically brilliant exposition, but we certainly felt the warmth of the pedalling building the whole conception. It was terrific Beethoven! Your mention of the chirping birds reminds me of an open air evening concert in the Forum in Rome back in 1977 - it was Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and every time the horns came in, all the wild cats that live in the Forum responded by yowling together in a loud chorus after a moment's delay. Whether they liked it or not I don't know, but it touched something in their souls, for the effect came back a couple of times as if it had been written into Sonata Form. Happy cats! ] (]) 01:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Gerda, sorry to be a pain in the tail but I because it didn't ask a question. As you can see from the relevant case page, I recommended that Arbcom decline the case and thought that RexxS exhibited no more than mild incivility, that was running rampant throughout the world during the start of COVID, and I agree with SV's comment "{{xt| I want to add that he is one of the most genuinely kind editors I've had the pleasure to encounter. You may not get fake politeness from him, but you have found a friend if you ever need one.}}" which I can wholeheartedly endorse from personal experience having met him in the pub several times. It would be nice to see if somebody can suggest a constructive action that has a reasonable chance of RexxS returning and contributing to Misplaced Pages, but I don't think that's it.

: Thankyou for the Tchaikowsky "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" (Nyet, tolko tot menya). You were lucky to hear such a performance live. I like the old Melodiya version by ] (his alluring measure and sweetness) but of course quite a different affair to your singer's noble account. Why is it (language aside) that Tchaikowsky's setting never really feels like Goethe? Is it Russian pessimism colliding with echt German Welt-angst? Do the Russian lyrics really render the same words? In the English versions, "None but the desolate" beats "None but the lonely heart", but both are entirely inadequate: you don't get that resonance of the desolate ''individual'' such as you also have in "Wer nie sein Brot mit Thränen aß..."] (]) 13:02, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

I thought that was clear without a question mark, also that without an answer, I'd not vote for him, or any other who accepted the case, before or after Sarah pleaded, because even arbs may change their mind and should follow the complete request discussion.

''''']''''' is a comic ] in one act by ] to an Italian ] by ], composed in 1917–18. The work is the third and final part of Puccini's '']'', three one-act operas with contrasting themes, following the dramatic '']'' and the lyric '']''. The libretto is based on an incident mentioned in Dante's '']''. Set in 1299 ], the title character pretends to be a rich citizen who had died, dictating a new will in favour of the deceased's family members but especially of himself ''(scene in the premiere pictured)''. The comedy, a rarity in the composer's work, combines elements of Puccini's modern harmonic dissonances with lyrical passages such as the aria "]". When ''Il trittico'' premiered at New York's ] on 14&nbsp;December 1918, only ''Gianni Schicchi'' became an immediate hit.

*::* i am not sure if it would be better to say that wolf "suggested" his theory (as stated in the article) rather than "believed" it, but i ended up leaving the verb used in the blurb alone. feel free to change that if you think it should conform to the article.
*::* i took the liberty of creating ] for the "BWV" abbreviation, as
*::*# the abbreviation and tooltip text are regularly used in articles on bach's works;
*::*# bach was prolific, so there is potential for the template to be used more than just a few times;
*::*# it improves readability of the code; and
*::*# the template automatically inserts a non-breaking space between the abbreviation and the numeral following (if provided).
*::: for example, as seen in the blurb, the code "{{((}}BWV{{!}}227{{))}}" inserts the text "{{BWV|227}}". i believe its use does not violate any standards for the main page, as the ] is regularly used in blurbs. please let me know if it violates any other standards that i might not be aware of, such as those of the relevant wikiprojects.
*::* if bach's initials are used, i believe there should be a non-breaking space between the "J." and the "S.", to conform with ]. note that, in tfa blurbs, the html entity "&amp;nbsp;" is generally used instead of the nbsp template.
*::* i feel that, for someone unfamiliar with motets and movements, the phrase "his longest and most musically complex motet in eleven ] for up to five voices" may be misinterpreted to mean that, amongst the motets in the eleven movements, this motet was the longest and most musically complex one. perhaps replacing "motet in" with "motet, with" would avoid such a misinterpretation.
*::* i cannot tell if a link to "motet" was deliberately omitted, but if not, the second instance of the word can easily be linked.
*:: apologies for the delayed response; currently, i cannot seem to find the time to address blurbs much earlier than a week before they appear on the main page. in any case, i appreciate the ping, as it allowed me to think about this blurb over a few days, and i do not know if i would have noticed this discussion without it. ] (]) 18:50, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I'd prefer Bach's full name, just proposed to abbreviate it to save a few characters. - how about this: In eleven ] for up to five voices, it is his longest and most musically complex motet? - yes, a link to "motet" was deliberately omitted, because this isn't the typical motet, and a reader with no idea what a motet is may get a link from the list of motets, still sort of a detour ;) --] (]) 19:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Dear Gerda, Fabulous pictures! The living masses resolving into receding poems from the painter's palate, the volumes rolling away like a tide.

::"Hebe auf" - makes it sound such an effort! I, too, sing out loud in the open air, giving to all and sundry the appearance of my being a madman. I sang an entire Psalm (to my own music) when on my own halfway up a very high hill in Snowdonia, before realizing that the top of the hill was rather beyond my reach. And when I go into an empty parish church in the country I often sing one. I sang one to God alone in ] in Suffolk one drowsy afternoon in 2020, and just as I finished I realized that I was not alone at all - the entire church was full of sleepy hornets - there was one sitting just beside me (and I have the allergy if I am stung), so I stole away home, or at least, out of the church, rather gingerly...<br />]Back in March 1989 I was staying at ] in Italy and walked over to the Franciscan cells at Le Celle by the road which sweeps around the contour of the hillside like a vast amphitheatre, looking down towards Il Sodo and the top corner of the ]. Half-way around (coming back from the cells) I stopped, and, checking that I was quite alone, "This is surely better than La Scala" thought I, so I stood looking out over the descending hillside and let rip with a very full-throated rendering of "Dai campi, dai prati" (Boito, Mefistofele) in my best baritone declamation. Hoping I was not disturbing the monks in their celle, I enjoyed myself so much I sang "Giunto sul passo estremo" as well, possibly twice, into the deliciously cool but sunny air. It seemed to be going well... As I concluded, ''con gusto'' ("voglio che questo sogno sia la santa poesia: è l'ultimo bisogno dell'esistenza mia"), an Italian guide with a party of about 30 nice American ladies suddenly popped out from behind a nearby bush, and the guide remarked kindly, "You have found yourself an excellent theatre!" We all laughed, and everyone was very nice about it. I don't think I had quite ruined their morning, nor they mine, but I didn't reprise after that: the diffidence took over. It was the same week I did this sslightly peculiar sketch of the church a little lower down the same hillside. Younger days... ] (]) 23:46, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

And on another track - I (who have no religion) have always wanted to stand on top of a mountain at dawn and sing - a mediaeval hymn to Jesus as the rising sun, with the melody and the melismas taken straight and unaltered from the Arab tradition. As John Lennon said - "imagine there's no countries". ] (]) 11:06, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

:::::: {{u|Eebahgum}}, I have been surrounded by mountains most of my life. From Italy where we lived in the Piedmont, to Montana, to Alaska (two mountain ranges), I love climbing. I have now worn a path to my favorite overlook of the lake from Sirr Mt. Even in snow that is feet deep I will walk or mush to sing my morning songs as often as possible. I have done this for as long as I can remember every where I have lived. My songs are different than most but they are sung from my heart and my Spirit. They often are of those I love and care about. They are also songs of thanks to creator and the universe. They are tributes to the Colors I hear and the Songs I see around me. Sometimes I drag my cello or carry a flute or take my bowls to play. On the rare occasion I am accompanied by a friend that brings his drum. When he is not with me my heart keeps beat. It is not a life for everyone, there are hardships around ever bend in the river, but it is a life I love and a life I intend to live as full as I possibly can. I will sing a song for you and the little one. --]] 14:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

==Duino Elegies has gone FAR away==
Hi Gerda,
I too feel badly about how the Duino Elegy FAR went. I think we both misunderstood what was initially asked. We assumed that the article was in decent shape and just needed a bit of pruning and care in the citations to bring back to health. We both spent a great deal of time finding sources, formatting, and working on aligning the texts. But its clear that a bigger issue was brewing in the FARC that we were unaware of, which was addressing a pattern of Misplaced Pages abuse that was much bigger than just the article we thought we had to tidy.
That's not to say we didn't have a point. ] states: "''Some material is still going to be valuable in dealing with vandalism, so this is not about pretending vandalism does not exist. Instead, information on vandalism should be critically appraised: first, whether it has genuine value; then, whether that value outweighs any detriment from the publicity of that vandal or their vandalism.''" That was our argument. Ultimately, the provenance and origin of the quote remains unclear, as the citation apparatus was added post-hoc. It's a good phrase, and in my opinion, well-crafted regardless of where it came from. I had to laugh when I found that the (!) uses the quote "''intensely religious, mystical poems that weigh beauty and existential suffering.''" (scroll down to "Find Out More About" and click the "Rilke tab).


<div style="border-style:solid; border-color:#FF4646; background-color:#00A86B; border-width:2px; text-align:left; padding:7px; border-radius:1em; box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.5em rgba(0,0,0,0.75);;" class="plainlinks">]]{{-}}
But I think that the magnitude of what the FARC saw elsewhere played a determining role here. Given their larger context and the work they've been doing, I'll respect their decision, though we both put in far more time than we would of had we known that the article was already on the side of delisting.

And there is one point, where I do agree the article needs significant work: the majority of the middle was really just a summary of one set of commentaries. This issue was brought out by Victoria's comment- which also made me laugh and which I agree- that it was a quote farm. A good article would probably use many other sources as well to discuss the themes and symbolism. I reserved judgement, as I thought our role was just to clean up the aritcle. Again, we both misunderstood the state of this article.

=== Io Saturnalia! ===
I'll share how it wasn't a waste for me. I certainly learned a lot about a topic that I didn't know before, and in working through the incorrect information in the article came to a deeper understanding of who Rilke is as a person. I was delighted to see that the Gadamer and Rilke connection was real, even if the original citations misrepresented that relationship before I updated them. And, for me, the list of translations that Grimes2 and I found tells me just how influential the poems are, and the list simultaneously makes me laugh- there's so many!- and gives me a deeper respect for Rilke's influence.

(Look for his name further up, - he wrote ].) I don't regret any of them. DYK that the influence section of the elegies also appears in Rilke's bio? It could be "snipped" in the elegies completely.

We did extensive editing there because we found misused sources (as you will see), then submitted the edits because the page is under a level of protection, the edit was approved (making it appear that there were two votes in favor of the edit, ours, and the editor approving it). Nevertheless, the whole of our edit was subsequently reverted en masse, without regard to any quality of work that was done (including the hour or more devoted just to citation-checking, which led to the issues being found). The bottom line is that we expressed no opinions, just quoted citations chosen earlier by others, at length (to make clear what they actually said).
==DYK for James O'Donnell (organist)==

We truly haven't a pony in this race (view in the overarching matter), we simple were aiming to make the article sound with regard to the sources it already cited. Our edit result did include some section tags, as there were rather egregious problems that were evident.

As it stands, we have reverted that earlier reversion, to return our earlier edit, in the belief that there were two votes favoring it. But we will not touch things again. (We understand there is strong bias against IP editors, even ones with decades here.) Cheers. ] (]) 04:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I took several moments to look into it nonetheless, but see no discussion on the article talk, but a pointer to the fringe noticeboard, in general, not to a specific discussion. 4) I'm not familiar with that corner. 5) It would take me too long to find it myself and study it.

Die Fliege

2024 is the anniversary of the Achtliederbuch, the first Lutheran hymnal of 500 years ago, and - possibly related - Bach's cycle of Chorale cantatas 300 years ago. His works and the chorales on which they are based will be a focus for 2024.

Aoproaching the close for the year, not the cycle): I made a detailed list (see #call for collaboration) below of work needed to bring them all to GA status. Help needed ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Ongoing are locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2023 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.

2024 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2024 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ... will come here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.

My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three or more boxes, often one for people remembered and others for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to meetings with friends who gave them to me. I archive from time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC) - updated order --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
I bestow this award to you, Gerda, for being an untiring teacher. Along with creating so many new music articles that the world can enjoy, you also share with me (and others) interesting anecdotes about the music and your life. I really appreciate the learnings from the messages you leave, and as a token of my thanks, this barnstar is for you. Rosiestep (talk) 20:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

About time. Article begun in May, meant to appear with the Abel Fest in June. Then we missed his birthday on 22 December. I wanted it with the image, for various reasons,

The new
Catalogue of Works of Carl Friedrich Abel,

A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For all the wonderful things you do for the encyclopedia, especially for spreading friendship, and for bringing music to the main page with your DYK work there. Thank you for being you! Netherzone (talk) 01:00, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Seconding @Netherzone here. I didn't see the post in time to oppose vehemently. But I love what you bring to all areas, especially talk pages since that's where I frequently see you @Gerda Arendt. Thanks for always sharing your passions with us. Star Mississippi 17:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

I offer you my deepest apologies Gerda

Hello Gerda. I would just want you to know that I am very sorry for the ANI discussion I started earlier. I had been having some real-life stress lately and it felt like it may have affected my feelings on-wiki. I'm very sorry for the attitude I have shown you over the past few weeks. I very much appreciate your efforts on Misplaced Pages and your dedication to the project even if we disagree on many things, and I just want to let you know that despite everything that has happened you are still an editor I admire and respect. You are a net positive to DYK and while we may disagree on views, what we can agree on is that your articles are very informative and a net good to the project. Again, I am sorry for what I have done. Rest assured that regardless of our differences I support your efforts on Misplaced Pages to improve our coverage on classical music and Germany. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:46, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

I woke up thinking Joy to the world. I tried to bring joy, it's turned into trivia, and I'm accused of bad faith. Travelling now, no time to even look. Before looking, I can't tell if I can accept apologies, which may may be tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:52, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Narutolovehinata5, still today, I'm on a train, the train has a connection (all things that can't be taken for granted): apologies for attitude accepted, but I hope that it really will change, because I felt it becoming a danger to diversity of information and freedom of speech. For those unfamiliar with the situation: we escalated over the hook for Kihwan Sim, which was replaced in prep against my protest. That hook should not run, it's a triviality said about a living person who deserves merit for specific achievements. - I looked at the thread and found some gems of support there that I will place in my "blushing" cabinet, - thank you, all! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
This is not an indictment of Naruto but like others on the AN/I thread I have found that Misplaced Pages seems to have become more hostile. I suppose one could surmise at least somewhat that it is born out of necessity. We appear to live at a time where I feel my thoughts on life and the way I wish to live life are going the way of faeries and dragons. Nobody cares, love is fleeting, and civility and affording basic human respect are more centered on your position in relation to mine rather than the fact you are a fellow human being. The cruelty is not AN/I or Naruto's position. The cruelty is everything that has led up to it. People are becoming less nice and we are told it is normal, discussions less civil but we are told to accept it. Where is the empathy?
Gerda, you are a blessing and so precious, my friend. I said it after we first met and I maintain that yours is one the brightest lights I have been so fortunate to meet here. Keep singing, keep shining, keep being you. --ARoseWolf 13:52, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

BWV 22

Every time I visit your pages I end up having to learn about a lovely new cantata! Thank you so much for all your work. It's BWV 22 right now – what a gorgeous thing, despite the tragic lack of trumpets.

I have a personally busy time coming up with Bach and some other guy called Handel and some other other guy called Telemann. Should be fun.

Cheers!! DBaK (talk) 19:56, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Cheers back, listening right now to an opera by the Handel guy (Poro) which Telemann presented as Cleofida in Hamburg in 1732 adding marches he must have enjoyed writing. German recitatives. Never heard. Delightful. - You don't have to come to my page as long you have "story" in a box by me ;) - Our Bach endeavour will be three cantatas!!! 5 May, - come over, plenty of trumpets in BWV 11 ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Seiji Ozawa

12 years

Dear Gerda, thanks for your greeting, which I warmly reciprocate. I have stepped back from wp for the past few months, partly because of pressures at home (caring for supercentenarian mother). But you rightly diagnose the local cause of inactivity and I will strive to take your precious advice to heart. Thanks for noticing, and very best wishes for 2024. So sorry about Seiji Ozawa. Eebahgum (talk) 14:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - I thank Ozawa personally two (mostly) unforgettable matinees in Tanglewood (where children under 5 were not welcome for the concerts, but the dress rehearsals), of Haydn's Die Schöpfung, choir all in white and singing from memory, "Und eine neue Welt" (And a new world) of unearthly lightness, and a Mozart piano concerto with Mitsuko Uchida (forgot which, forgot rest of the program) when all the birds under the roof of the Shed began chirping when the piano entered, and remember how she smiled. - I thank Christoph Eschenbach for a great Verdi Requiem at the same place, and could do so in person after a concert of Bruckner's Sixths, saying that I liked it very much (and it had been 12 years earlier), and he smiled and said "Ich auch". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
Uchida held us breathless at Snape Maltings a few years ago with a solo concert of the three final Beethoven sonatas. It seems somehow improper to comment on such a comprehensively personal and dynamically brilliant exposition, but we certainly felt the warmth of the pedalling building the whole conception. It was terrific Beethoven! Your mention of the chirping birds reminds me of an open air evening concert in the Forum in Rome back in 1977 - it was Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and every time the horns came in, all the wild cats that live in the Forum responded by yowling together in a loud chorus after a moment's delay. Whether they liked it or not I don't know, but it touched something in their souls, for the effect came back a couple of times as if it had been written into Sonata Form. Happy cats!

My story was different, mentioning the Music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:

Tamara Milashkina,
the first Soviet Russian soprano trained at La Scala,
portrayed Russian characters
with emotion and authenticity
touring with the Bolshoi Theatre
as Tchaikovsky's Tatyana at the Vienna State Opera
and as Lisa at the Metropolitan Opera.

Thankyou for the Tchaikowsky "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" (Nyet, tolko tot menya). You were lucky to hear such a performance live. I like the old Melodiya version by Sergei Lemeshev (his alluring measure and sweetness) but of course quite a different affair to your singer's noble account. Why is it (language aside) that Tchaikowsky's setting never really feels like Goethe? Is it Russian pessimism colliding with echt German Welt-angst? Do the Russian lyrics really render the same words? In the English versions, "None but the desolate" beats "None but the lonely heart", but both are entirely inadequate: you don't get that resonance of the desolate individual such as you also have in "Wer nie sein Brot mit Thränen aß..."Eebahgum (talk) 13:02, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
(I saw her on stage but with completely different music, and as Suzuki, Cherubino and Paolo.) I can't tell for the Russian, but know that some German words and probably concepts have no true expression in English, and "Sehnsucht" is one of them. Music, however, is much more internationally understood. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
These came in response to my message:

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).
Yesterday I learned that a friend suddenly died; we both belonged to a group that traveled once a year for decades, and I remember her vivid talk last summer, same voice and sparkle as when we met. Her song for me was Take the "A" Train, sung by Ella Fitzgerald. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for asking. No, sorry, not this year. I have four nominations for people who recently died, two are open, - that kept me busy. What I wanted was Bach's St John Passion for OTD tomorrow, first performed on Good Friday 1724, but I was reverted claiming that OTD can't go by feast but only by date, so it would have to be 7 April. Impossible. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I listen now on radio to the St John Passion from the Berliner Philharmonie, with the RIAS Kammerchor, Evangelist beginning, - teaser, broadcast. - I uploaded the images from 17 March, beginning with a "bloody" morning sky and ending with a procession of a figure of Jesus carrying the Cross, with a wind band and drums. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Easter Sunday

For Easter 1724,
his first as Thomaskantor in Leipzig,
Johann Sebastian Bach revived
Christ lag in Todes Banden,
(Christ lay in death's bonds)
BWV 4,
a chorale cantata
he had composed in his twenties,
using in all seven movements
the words and tune
of Luther's 1524 Easter chorale.

24 April 2011

listen

Remembering Easter 300 years ago continues: Bach revived for for his first Easter as Thomaskantor in Leipzig a masterpiece from his early career, his first chorale cantata, and how different from those to come a few weeks after this. - Per chance, I received the YouTube link today from the conductor who just uploaded it to mark the occasion. I sang with the Idsteiner Solisten several times but not in that performance. You can follow the music! - I also uploaded more images, from a tropical garden and a famous nearby church. Happy Easter! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Easter Monday

The opening chorus of
Bach's cantata
for the Second Day of Easter,
Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen, BWV 66,
first performed in 1724
has been termed
"one of the longest and
most exhilarating of Bach's early works".

25 April 2011

"Not dead, but very wet"

Dear Gerda, Thankyou for your several kind and cheerful messages over the past couple of months. In case you are wondering, I have not slipped off this mortal coil, at least not yet, but have for various reasons given myself a rest from wp. For one thing I am terribly busy with my supercentenarian Mum whose daily needs for attention are many - for another, I have a progressing series of ailments of my own, including Parkinson's, which keep me feeling fairly grotty - but, most influentially, since my last editing efforts, I have a sense of complete futility at editing here when confronted with the sort of criticisms and condescension which provoked my last long reply on my talk page. I haven't got the stomach to rise to the bait. However I am still here and still watching. Eebahgum (talk) 08:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, and no, I grant every friend long silences ;) - best wishes for you and your mother! Please keep reading - I provide my daily stories thinking of people like you. I was in the performance mentioned today (with trailer), - in 2018 DYK made that possible, but 2024 is a different troupe.

This was the story. I am happy that all six composers mentioned, even the unlinked Verdi, received views around 1k or higher. I believe that it is a myth that our audience isn't interested in such things. Thanks to Mary Mark Ockerbloom who bravely approved the hook.

As it happens, today's story is about singing in defiance ;) - look and listen! - Ten years ago, I worded the hook that appeared OTD, and I quoted from the hymn - together with a pointer to Kafka - already in my response to the 2013 arbitration decision, in the same mood of singing in defiance.

2 July, Visitation, was the 300th anniversary of Bach's chorale cantata on a Gregorian chant (a contradiction in terms but he made it work), Meine Seel erhebt den Herren, BWV 10.

Hi Gerda . I scrolled through your page of stories and I must say ... your choice, variety and variability of topics, overall beauty and aesthetic of your contributions is so close to my heart like nothing else on Misplaced Pages. I'm sending you my favourite and most beautiful piece from On an Overgrown Path, it's performed by lesser known but excellent Jan Jiraský, who connects very well the lyrical expression and urgent or maybe even anxious rhythmical contradiction present in many of Janáček's works in one moment. Enjoy and ... be well. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
blushing - thank you for understanding! I listened with joy! The closest I came to Janáček was singing the Glagolitic Mass in choir, understanding how his music is language-driven and so expressive. Seeing the Vixen (not cunning, not little) in Munich was also great. - I added a few images, - keep looking at story music places, - for example today's music matching the Italian tenor of the story. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

It's nice that he gets exposure - after having worked on the article for days - without me calling for attention ;) - Thanks to Aza24 for professional additions (and trimming)! - Today is also the (liturgical) day of remembering Jesu, der du meine Seele, BWV 78 (for which I had no time because of the other) but also the Vespro della Beata Vergine, dedicated by Monteverdi to the Pope 1 September. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Gerda, could you hold off an a GAN until I get a chance to expand the music section? Also, it looks like the template wasn't processed on the talk page anyways. Aza24 (talk) 21:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for planning to do more! Normally it takes months until a GA gets reviewed, - will that be long enough? I guess with an expanded music section, we might even go for FA (but shouldn't bother a GA reviewer with too much detail). - Goehr is still on the Main page, so whatever bits you would add today have a chance to be seen by more people. Raising interest was the key motivation for the nomination ;) (I made a typo but fixed it, as explained. I can hold it off tomorrow if you think that is better.) - He deserves more attention. Compared to others, it was low when he died, got higher with the obits, but was (4k+) moderate yesterday. Tomorrow will be Bruckner's 200 birthday, followed by Schoenberg's 150th on 13 September. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:18, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations! You have been awarded the Bronze W Award for your contributions to each long-time section of the Main Page: a Featured Article at Today's Featured Article and 5 articles listed at Did You Know. Your contributions to Misplaced Pages put you in a class of prolific, highly skilled editors. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 01:56, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

You can show the award by using Template:Bronze W UBX.

Thank you Cowboygilbert. You picked my favourite FA, my song of defiance (which was written to large parts by a banned user, not me, and long ago) and DYK such as Magdalena Hinterdobler who was threatened with deletion, and four other opera singers, - a topic not welcome on the Main page ;) - Did you know that I feel that I never had as few DYK nominations as this year? Why does it say "all sections of the Main page", but omits ITN (RD) and OTD where I am more active? Just some question. Thank you, I'll post it at WP:QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I tried FP once but they said the photographer was not welcome, which ended my career there. How about making awards for ITN and OTD? there are five corners in the star, and if 2 and 3 qualify, 4 might also, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:25, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

And then I learned that Franz Kamphaus died. I saw him in the service on 6 October, which was held up for several minutes for him to arrive, assisted by two people. - I didn't take a pic inside because I was late myself, - here's an earlier one of the place partly decorated by disabled people. He always sat second row far right. I was left, fifth or so row. He looked attentive throughout, God's time is the best ... (recorded).

I wrote the article of Franz Kamphaus, bishop of Limburg from 1982 to 2007, a person I had always admired, as a translation, in 2014, when I noticed that his successor had an article in English but not this modest person. As you can read above, I saw him last a month ago when he attentively followed a service, pictured below. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:16, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Yesterday was another Tatort service in the monthly series that he always attended.

The ensemble (2 trumpets, trombone, tuba) played classical and entertaining music in the concert, and folk songs, including "my" Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud, in the service with the topic "Seasons", reflecting the seasons of the year and the seasons of life. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:19, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

FA opera help

Dear Gerda,

I hope life is treating you well. I was thinking it would be nice to have another modern opera as an FA, I think at the moment it is possibly only Nixon in China. However, I don't have experience with getting articles to FA status. Having read plenty of your articles over the years; and noticing you were on a list of mentors for FAC, I thought you might be able to help; or give some advice, or signpost me elsewhere. There are two short good articles Fire Shut Up in My Bones and Grounded that I was thinking about developing further; though they have a long way to go I'm sure. I would also be interested in improving an article I haven't edited yet, like Akhnaten.

Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 11:26, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Good ideas. I'm pretty busy, but can help looking. Sourcing Akhnaten more might be the best short-term goal ;) - Fire seems to have been liked more than Grounded, which can be a reason to prefer it for the next, or not. Thank you for what you put into them already, - watched them grow with pleasure. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:45, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks! Sure, I'll have a look at improving Akhnaten for now. Quite a big roles table in that article; possibly needs cutting to just the premiere, but feels destructive :( Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 12:22, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
The role table is sourced, and whatever you feel is too much could go to the talk. You could also split the tabel into premiere, with all roles), and (some) later performances with only the major roles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:34, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

A remarkable woman! She's already off the Main page, - would have been so fitting on 11 November, a day when many remember war victims. I didn't want to write her story yesterday which was a day of singing with my church choir on a private anniversary. In music, I matched that to a choir singing in resistance to war (in 2022) at the same location, and Reger's Requiem (which isn't a Requiem) composed in memory of the victims of the First World War in 1915. - If you have little time, look at Riffaud's pic, supplied - as many others - by Storye book. With a bit more time, watch the images framing her biography (some authentic, some from film). If you have still more time, listen to OREYA singing, a chamber choir with only two women singers (both alto) then, because the others had to stay with their families while their husbands served in the war. With plenty of time, also listen to Reger's Soul, forget them not, first sung by the solo alto (17 minutes). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

It connects nicely to one for Liviu Holender that I gave the arbitration candidates to think about. - I'm packing for the return trip, and will be available only when making the connection. Plenty of pics to come! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:14, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Arbitration Question

The 2013 Arbitration Remedy #6 stated:

Community discussion recommended

6) The Arbitration Committee recommends that a well-publicized community discussion be held to address whether to adopt a policy or guideline addressing what factors should weigh in favor of or against including an infobox in a given article.

Passed 7 to 1, with 1 abstention at 00:18, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Did this discussion ever take place? If so, can you help me find it? Trumpetrep (talk) 03:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

No, it never happened (although I have asked candidates for arbitration year after year, look at this year's announcement above), but for me, the WP:Mozart RfC was it, where all the standard opposing points (usually 10) were defeated (again), this time by Voceditenore (again, but there were others also). - I think that project composers, where it all began with the RfC of 2010 (that I helped you to find) would be the proper location. Did you know that Worm That Turned (who wrote the infoboxes case) established the consensus for Beethoven, and Brian Boulton the one for Chopin? - Happy thanksgiving! I have other things on my mind today than boxes: people ;) - I am thankful for travel experiences and will upload images, - keep looking. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:59, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Today is the last day for the election of arbitrators. In the context of what I wrote above, it's of low interest to me. I asked all candidates a question, and found one so far who looked into the matter and didn't stay at the surface, Simonm223. Thiele was a composer, one of his pieces was called Kafka-Gesänge, and you can listen (click on story). Kafka came to my mind after the infoboxes arbcase in 2013. A compromise was tried by Brianboulton right then for his featured article Percy Grainger, another was implemented by Worm That Turned as the community consensus for Beethoven 2015. Why don't we follow that path? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

In 2020, my other model, Jerome Kohl, responded to a question for Aaron Copland (who died OTD in 1990), still on the article talk. Thiele was described as passionate, generous and inspiring, - so was that response. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

call for collaboration

In the spirit of September recommendations:

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov Infobox RFC

I am not the proponent for an infobox. I have only prepared the infobox RFC for Trumpetrep, who is the originator of the infobox. I prepared the RFC after Trumpetrep filed a DRN that no one else responded to. I am neutral. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Do you see, though, that the proposal will not even get my support. I give you a proposal based on Mozart. Common name on top, no burial information, only relatives with articles, only major occupations, list of works rather than someone's personal selection, no painter of portrait. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:15, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Please do not discuss with me. You may either discuss with Trumpetrep or discuss in the RFC. You may include an alternate infobox in the RFC discussion. Or you can discuss in the DRN thread, because I haven't closed it yet. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:54, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I said in the RfC that I'd go for the Mozart model, before I even proposed it here. There is no room for me in the RfC, in more than one sense. Trumpetrep, do you understand? I go travel again, with limited availability. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I don't really understand what the issue is with the format of the infobox. The Request for Comment is a categorical one about whether or not the article should have an infobox. What is in the infobox can obviously be edited to align with Mozart's or whomever's. And for the record, this is the infobox that User:Antniomanso added to the article.Trumpetrep (talk) 21:41, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I'm on my way to bed, sorry. In my first entry here, I explained what needs to be changed. The current one will not be accepted. Individual parameters can be discussed and possibly added. As it stands, the RfC doesn't ask if an infobox should be there, but if the particular one should be there. No from me. You have to have the common name on top, not the full name, for example. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Anton Webern's birthday - also a good example. Someone who is not me better changes the proposal or it will fail. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:56, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I have provided a copy of the infobox that matches Mozart's and addresses the concerns you spelled out here. It seemed wrong to replace the one Robert provided at the top of the Request for Comment. So, I put it in the discussion section. That's part of the ongoing issue here. There isn't a clear way to proceed, and when people ask for help, they don't get clear answers. Trumpetrep (talk) 20:27, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! - I commented out my (slightly different) proposal here, not to confuse the counting of inclusions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:36, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

On your age & A humble proposal

If it is not a joke, I would say it’s quite impressive to achieve all this at your age of 15! Keep up!

It seems that you are almost on your way to be a bach scholar. Would you mind to take the time to compose a list of great and useful resources you have known about bach? It should include but not limited to:

books (pre-modern, modern, post-modern, essays, monographs, bibliographies, collections of archival materials), articles, periodicals, essays (like those on High Fidelity), videos (publications, video essays, annotated video scores like those by gerubach), recordings (incl. audio essays like those by leonard bernstein), archived manuscripts, library digital & physical collections, places to visit…

Or could you tell someone like me that has only recently been hit by the greatness of bach (and looking forward to doing some substantial work here on wikipedia about bach) how to find more quality resources about bach? I and future new young bach-lovers would deeply appreciate your effort. Hym3242 (talk) 18:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - The age given is of what is above the image: User:Gerda Arendt. The articles come with sources that I recommend to study. The great scholars here were Francis Schonken and Mathsci, - I feel like an amateur student in comparison. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:07, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring my talk page two days ago; it seems they has an issue with me because I reverted their edit on Taylor Swift, which was clearly vandalism (you can look in the article history).

Peace

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

I somehow think you may have heard it before! But interesting origin: "A Basque folk carol, originally based on Angelus ad virginem, a 13th or 14th Century Latin carol, it was collected by Charles Bordes and then paraphrased into English by Sabine Baring-Gould, who had spent a winter as a boy in the Basque country.

Thank you, but would you mind being a bit more specific for what you want to thank me? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:30, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

nomination

I have nominated History of Christianity - again - please take a look and criticize at will. Here: Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/History of Christianity/archive2 Jenhawk777 (talk) 23:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

I saw it, watching the FAC page, but you'll need patience. I'm determined to make 5 Bach cantatas GA, and it has just worked for the first! I'll join you on FAC, because I thought it would have been a good TFA for Christmas, - next year perhaps. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:57, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954)

On 18 December 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954), which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Schwede66 22:43, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

If you have a moment...

could you perhaps look into what has gone on at the Enneagram of Personality page, primarily in its History section? (Asking because in an earlier season, I was impressed by your work in various contexts.)

We did extensive editing there because we found misused sources (as you will see), then submitted the edits because the page is under a level of protection, the edit was approved (making it appear that there were two votes in favor of the edit, ours, and the editor approving it). Nevertheless, the whole of our edit was subsequently reverted en masse, without regard to any quality of work that was done (including the hour or more devoted just to citation-checking, which led to the issues being found). The bottom line is that we expressed no opinions, just quoted citations chosen earlier by others, at length (to make clear what they actually said).

We truly haven't a pony in this race (view in the overarching matter), we simple were aiming to make the article sound with regard to the sources it already cited. Our edit result did include some section tags, as there were rather egregious problems that were evident.

As it stands, we have reverted that earlier reversion, to return our earlier edit, in the belief that there were two votes favoring it. But we will not touch things again. (We understand there is strong bias against IP editors, even ones with decades here.) Cheers. 71.239.132.212 (talk) 04:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I have a moment to tell you that 1) I'm not familiar with the topic, 2) I'm not a person welcome in some discussions. I have another moment to tell you that 3) I get suspicious if I hear "we" without explanation what "we" is meant. I took several moments to look into it nonetheless, but see no discussion on the article talk, but a pointer to the fringe noticeboard, in general, not to a specific discussion. 4) I'm not familiar with that corner. 5) It would take me too long to find it myself and study it.
6) You - or anybody - should not revert back when reverted, but discuss. (WP:BRD, as you will know if you have been here for decades.) Please go to the article talk page and raise your concern there if needed, and find supporters among people interested in the article, and/or argue further in the noticeboard discussion. I'll watch and say something if I have the impression it might help. - I'd like to ping you but it doesn't work for IPs. How about signing on? Next time you ask (anybody) for help, please supply needed links, such as to the exact noticeboard discussion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:36, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
There is now a discussion on the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 41

Hi Gerda, hope you are well. In this edit to Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 41 you've used {{sfn|Wolf|2024}}, but there's no work "Wolf 2024" listed. DuncanHill (talk) 12:20, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

thank you, - I should have looked after editing but was too tired - year 2010 as in several others, fixed --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. DuncanHill (talk) 12:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
