Welcome 2022! - more to come here --] (]) 07:49, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

2022 '''talk''' begins at ], 2022 '''images''' (my calender pics, new year's resolution "in friendship" and musical events) ], and the 2022 '''diary''' (my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ...) ], - just watch if you are interested.

My motto for 2022 is taken from ], an article about a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, written by missed Jerome Kohl with whom I often exchanged thoughts in friendship. With great help from friends, it became a GA last year, and I translated it to German on 1 January this year.

While '''garden''' was a key topic last year, I want to focus on '''songs''' in 2022, beginning with ], ] of ]. Other topics are ongoing, and I began to mark groups on my user page. I love collaboration, which also shows there. Just check ] for the amazing number of users who began articles we expanded. 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, which was a pleasant sport for five years, but not so much in the name of ] - article improvement. Below I keep - for now - some entries from last year, those related to friendship. --] (]) 07:22, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

'''My talk goes like this''': on top there's the latest DYK (] , will change to ] tomorrow); next to the TOC are boxes from my life, one for the month (with a pic I took last year, and songs), one for those remembered (] and ] now, name bold when on the Main page as Recent deaths that day, but that was yesterday), one for the last concert or opera heard (student concert), one for experience related to the DYK (if there is one, name bold, now ]), one for the last church, with songs (Las Palmas, on vacation, with stylised palm trees for columns). They usually go backwards in time, so yesterdays concert first, last year's opera last.

I archive from time to time, trying to leave no more than 50 discussions at a time. --] (]) 08:25, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

:: I looked up to Jerome from the day he came in my life (in 2009, telling me that was a reliable source said about Stockhausen was wrong, - it's still on the talk of ], my second article), and I imagine our conversations - thoughtful, on a meadow - as pictured, in the spirit of Stockhausen's wonderful titles: ], ], ], ] ...

===== With love from Paris =====

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 post this message from a Parisian cybercafe so if any well meant sysop wants to delete it and block the E.P, who cares ?

. LouisAlain.

==== Q to Beeblebrox ====

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. Sorry. ] ] ] 11:40, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
: ], I don't think you understood. I wanted to know from ] if the next time an appeal such as Sarah's - "every editor is a human being" - came around (regardless which case) he would listen. I don't know if he didn't see that appeal then, or saw it but it didn't change things for him. 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. The relevant discussion happened on ], urging the one who filed the case to withdraw it, but - as we know - in vain. How may I word my censored question? I want arb's who listen to people like Sarah (knowing that there's no one like her), probably women ;) --] (]) 12:33, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
::I would go with "{{xt|You accepted the RexxS arbitration case, despite many users including SarahSV suggesting it should be declined, not least because "every editor is a human being".

::: That could be ''your'' question ;) - I want only Sarah's, not the others, to keep things "übersichtlich" for someone (unfamiliar with the case, and again, it's not about that particular case) who wants to put the candidate's answer in context (and would have to read only one, not the others). - Let me think a bit, first I have other things to do. My design was to ask candidates not involved in that case: Would you have listened to SarahSV's appeal to decline the case?

RexxS has been criticised for not defending himself (in the arb case that I believe should not have been accepted, and that ] pleaded not to accept), but I followed his model (better than falling in the other trap, not really versed in the language, misunderstanding ...). Think about ], you all. Some would not listen to SlimVirgin, so probably not to ] who defended? ... not to ] who said an apology worked for her? ... so perhaps not to women in general?

''''']''''' 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. It has been performed more frequently than the other two, often combined with other short operas. - '''TFA''' ] by ] and ]

*::* 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)

::"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)

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.

Thank you for your terrific work on the ] article—I think I'm going to put some things aside to work on ]'s article. I was considering trying to start some kind of event at the CM project page to work on Ukranian music articles, what do you think about this? I feel like I (or you and I, if you have any interest) could assemble a list of important articles for the project to work on. Not sure if it would be limited to composers, maybe also performers or genres? If you don't have time, I understand, just thought I'd ask about it! I did finally get around to adding more to Crumb's article, by the way, though I think Lysenko will take priority for the time being. ] (]) 00:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

2025 talk

Die Fliege

We move from 2024 to 2025, with new calendar pictures and new music. The topic of Bach's chorale cantatas will keep me busy until 25 March, and then I want to focus on performances more generally, in history and in my experience. You can follow my daily stories, {{User Gerda Arendt/Top}}, often with an image and something to listen to: let's stay inspired and connected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

#call for collaboration points at issues where I need help, such as reviews. Ongoing efforts regard 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 2024 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.

2025 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2025 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) 06:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8

The article Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 and Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Aza24, thank you for the thorough review. I understand that in order to make Bach's chorale cantatas a good topic, this cantata - as part of it - has to be a good article, and I am willing to put work into it to make it so. However, right now I'm working simultaneously on several others with the same goal, and they require less work. I see me getting to serious changes for BWV 8 after the others, which will be in February. (The only one written later, BWV 1, is already a FA.) I'll make small changes now, perhaps today, but will then have to ask if the nom should remain open for longer or be closed and started over when I'm ready. Y'all: any help with this one and the others - making changes or reviewing - is welcome, see above, #calling for collaboration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:William Owen (composer)

Gerda, I was asked to help on this because it failed draft review. I added a few sources, but thought maybe you would like to take this on as it is about a hymn composer. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC

I am interested, and thank you for thinking of me, but I have a few things I want to handle first, - just look above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Did you read Misplaced Pages:Wikipedia_Signpost/2024-12-24/Opinion? With one of your photos: Misplaced Pages:Wikipedia_Signpost. I've already sent him encouraging words. Grimes2 (talk) 11:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

I had no time, thank you for pointing at it. I don't see a photo though. - Ah, in the overview, playing Haydn on Welte-Mignon piano --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:07, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, still working on the last cantata for 2024, - will probably come over tomorrow with a photo or more tomorrow, to continue sharing. You can probably guess that the new calendar pics will be at User:Gerda Arendt/Images 2025--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:23, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Giving is better than receiving. Happy New Year. Grimes2 (talk) 20:56, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, great helper all around, for example the latest RD for which I had no time due to real life! - I wonder about the ratio of (lazy) click-thanks to real typed thank-you notes, and hope that I can offer more of the latter kind. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

New compilation of cello music from Venice

Good morning Gerda, have you already seen this article? Some composers such as Rita Stroh already have WP articles, but there might be more in this compilation from Venice. - Best wishes for a great New Year. Munfarid1 (talk) 08:19, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, interesting! I'm behind with some topics that are related to anniversaries, but then - in a few months - I'll look! --(forgot to sign yesterday) Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:19, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
