Vielen Dank, Grimes2. The prob heißt die Stütze. Gleichwohl habe ich den Satz etwas umformuliert. -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   18:14, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Guten Abend Grimes2, wie ich jetzt gesehen habe, hast du die Quellen wesentlich erweitert und zusätzlich einige US-Patente hinzugefügt und dadurch den Artikel deutlich verbessert. Dafür mein besonderer Dank! Ich denke, dass so viele Quellenangaben, wie wir sie jetzt haben, für einen kurzen Artikel mehr als ausreichend sind und habe daher den Citationsvermerk über dem Artikel entfernt.

Guten Morgen Grimes2, ich habe den Abschnitt "History" überarbeitet und erweitert. Der Text steht vorerst hier: User:Gisbert_K/sandbox3. Würdest du ihn dir bitte einmal anschauen und ggf. korrigieren? Danke! -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   08:26, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Hallo Grimes2, leider hat der User:Nikkimaria meine Ergänzung komplett zurückgesetzt, angeblich wegen unzulänglicher Quellen. Ich habe dann meinen Entwurf nachgebessert und auf der Diskussionsseite des Artikels Klarinette angekündigt, dass ich diesen Text demnächst wieder einstellen möchte. Schau dir bitte einmal an, was der User:Binksternet dazu geschrieben hat, einmal dieses: "Your English composition suffers from stiff and stilted wording", zum anderen geht er nochmals auf die Quellen ein. Könntest du vielleicht die englische Ausdrucksweise in Ordnung bringen? Ich würde mich dann nochmals mit den Quellen befassen. ---  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   20:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Merry Christmas

Thank you for many displays of help and friendship over the month (and the year), such as including the FAZ article about Bernd Loebe, and coming to "our" concert. The latest pics have one of the impressive Chagall exhibition you recommended, and my talk has a pic of the choir after the concert now, likely to become next year's lead image on my user page. Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Frankfurt museums sidebar - sigh. This should be the same for all museums, for easy maintenance. Alternatively, have it at one place, and link from the individual museums. I have no idea why ill doesn't work for you, - it does for me. Please never code <br> but <br />, or all editor colours in edit mode are reduced to a uniform pink. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

I got a parse error with ill. "in one place": not possible, because of the different highlights and links. Grimes2 (talk) 12:39, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

I still got the correct link to the de-article. Easy remedy: write the articles however short ;) - Quite generally: a template that needs to be adjusted in every article it calls it isn't a good idea. Have it one place, or make it a real template. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

First: The "OSM Location map" is not made by me (Author is User:RobinLeicester). I got the error message: : Couldn't parse JSON: Syntax error. OSM Location map doesn't accept subtemplate "ill". And needs to be adjusted individually for every article to highlight numbered dots in map, to highlight numbered dot in legend, to delink legend. Grimes2 (talk) 14:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

So back to the proposal to have that thing only in one place (if at all). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:17, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

I like that OSM template: looks good and is informative. It's also on the review article Museumsufer. Don't know, if we need two maps in every individual museum article. @RobinLeicester: Your opinion? Grimes2 (talk) 15:28, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

 Done Central template created (Template:Museumsufer Frankfurt), commented out redundant maps, use central template in articles with no infobox map. Grimes2 (talk) 09:07, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, for being member of a sophisticated choir. Grimes2 (talk) 17:47, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

I will tell the conductor (31). - Today, pictured, the soprano of our choral concert of the year, his first. More in the context: User talk:Gerda Arendt#DYK for Talia Or, in case of interest. - Enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

I may not have picked up all the details of the map discussion, so apologies if this is missing the mark. My instinct on the individual museum articles is that they need something consistent that not only says they are part of the Museumsufer, but gives some brief details of what that is. The OSM Location Map with all the dots and list does that, but may be over the top, as most of the detail is not relevant to that article, so something short, embeded within the infobox, would also make sense. If the full map is wanted on all pages (and there is a case to be made that it provides the wider context to each museum), it is possible to 'semi-automatically' highlight the dot relating to an individual museum. (cf {{Flushing Meadows-Corona Park map}} which does this by being passed a highlight number.) RobinLeicester (talk) 12:04, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Semi-automatic highlight works: See Caricatura Museum Frankfurt. Thanks for the Tip. Grimes2 (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

I made an exception from my DYK abstinence for Good Friday, - see my story today. Interesting to compare a hook 2023 style to one in 2012). - I sang, including chorales from Bach's greatest Passion. I recently listened to one by Homilius: a discovery! - If you like quite powerful music for Easter, consider coming to St. Bonifatius on Sunday at 11 (or 10 if you want to hear it twice).

Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since I know you've used it in the past: careless use of the script has caused serious problems and it's currently at MFD. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more thorough explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [talk · contribs] 04:15, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Great music (in June, I'm behind: three great RMF concerts)! - Last Saturday, a friend played for us at her birthday party, on four instruments including baryton, with family (granddaughters!) and colleagues, from Renaissance to Haydn. - My story today is very personal: the DYK appeared on Wikipedia's 15th birthday, and describes a concert I sang. I was requested to translate the bio into German for a memorial concert ... - see background, and we talked about life and death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

My story today - a first - isn't about an article by me, but one I reviewed for DYK, see here. I like all: topic, "hook", connected article (a GA on its way towards FA), image and the music "in the background". I just returned from a weekend with two weddings, so also like the spirit ;) - Pics to come, I promise one cake, the other was too large! Good music, and better even in the concert ending the second day, - Goldberg Variations theme for an encore, after Dohnányi Serenade! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

This too shall pass. - Ten years ago on 28 August, I heard a symphony, with a heavy heart because of the pending decision in WP:ARBINFOBOX, and not worried about my future here but Andy's. - It passed, and I could write the DYK about calling to dance, not battle, and Andy could write the DYK mentioning about peace and reconciliation, - look.

(forgot to sign the last) - You may have noticed that contemporary music was moved from a redirect to a dab page, and what is meant - for example for Widmann and his works - sits at Contemporary classical music.

 Done Grimes2 (talk) 09:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Better, thank you! - I got the music titles at the beginning. - If you have more time (I don't):

• I don't think we need any names in the refs, - they just clutter the references section without context, and will be the first thing a readers sees following the link anyway.
• The performers appear in no apparent order, possibly alpha, - it would be good to sort them, conductor last, behind the orchestra, musicians in the order voice (SATB), strings (violin, cello), piano, - perhaps assigning an instrument.
• I dropped works on the recordings in which she has no part, just are on the same recording. There might be more of those, and the related performers also don't need to be mentioned.
• For the Haydn Trio, we need only violin and piano, not all performers of that CD.
• I am not sure that Jarrell is the correct composer.
• ... and whatever else I overlooked. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Ref Renamer

Hi, when you edited Mainz with a RefRenamer script, you broke one of the references: <ref name=" "Machtergreifung" 1933"</ref> does not work, you need to remove the inner quotation marks. Not sure if that's a bug in RefRenamer. —Kusma (talk) 20:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't think that this is a bug in RefRenamer. The website isn't "Machtergreifung" 1933. I will fix the website parameter. Grimes2 (talk) 20:09, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm not enthusiastic about renamed references, making them longer, which means having to copy longer strings when using a ref again later. It's different for sfn referencing when the short ref shows openly , but why change ref names that no readers sees? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:20, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I think, a name for a reference should be meaningful. An example is cryptic ref name ="Rng" to ref name="Büning-2013". But sometimes there are longer strings, but I think this is no problem with copy and paste. Yes its cosmetic, but it helps to maintain an article in the future. Grimes2 (talk) 20:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I turned to using author names, with a year added only when more than one by the same author. Changing cryptic ones, probably created in haste, is fine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that is what the RefRenamer does. I will take care, that the renamed references are an improvement. Grimes2 (talk) 21:22, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Grimes2, ich habe den Artikel auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Bitte sieh ihn dir einmal an und korrigiere, soweit notwendig. -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   16:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

 Done Grimes2 (talk) 17:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Vielen Dank, Grimes2, du warst ja wieder einmal sehr gründlich, insbesondere bei der Diskographie. Aber warum hast du diesen Absatz gestrichen, ich halte ihn für wichtig:

"In addition to his work with the SWR Symphony Orchestra, Manz performs as a soloist with various other orchestras, not only in Germany, but also in other European countries and occasionally in the USA and Japan. He also performs chamber music works with a number of musical partners at festivals and on other prestigious stages." -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   17:11, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Das ist sehr unspezifisch: Viele Orchester weltweit und Kammermusik. Auf wen trifft das nicht zu. Die Manz webseite als Quelle soltest Du vermeiden. Grimes2 (talk) 17:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Manz ist in erster Linie Soloklarinettist im SWR Radio Sinfonieorchester, nicht Solist wie z.B. Sabine Meyer und Martin Fröst (den ich demnächst treffen werde). Daneben, soweit es die Orchestertätigkeit erlaubt, vor allem in den Orchesterferien, tritt er als Solist (mit anderen Orchestern, z.B. in Hamburg mit dem Elbphilharmonieorchester, in Japan mit dortigen Orchestern, die ihn einladen) auf. Darüber hinaus führt er mit einer Reihe musikalischer Partner bei Festspielen und auf anderen renommierten Podien Werke der Kammermusik auf. Es gibt genügend Soloklarinettisten in den verschiedenen Orchestern, die sich auf die Orchestertätigkeit beschränken. Vielleicht bringst du das noch irgendwie in den Text. -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   20:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Guten Morgen Grimes2, bitte überprüfe nochmal die Quellenangaben zu den CD-Aufnahmen, die meisten Links gehen nicht.

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)

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)

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

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)

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

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)

Lavelli

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)

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

My edits are  Done. Please nominate. Thanks. Grimes2 (talk) 13:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Michael Metcalf

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

December music

December: story · music · places

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

... 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)

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

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 20:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

"Romantic music" link on Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

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)

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

Hey, I noticed you've deleted the majority of the Babylon article. I'm just curious what the story with that is. TheAwesomeAtom (talk) 20:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, sections in articles must have sources with ISBN's. Only these are reliable. Grimes2 (talk) 20:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

That is not how references work in Wikipedia. see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. --Bamyers99 (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reliable sources contains unreliable sources. Please fix this first. Grimes2 (talk) 23:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Continuing to do so is almost sure to see you blocked from editing. Courcelles (talk) 00:16, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Babel is no disambiguation page. A disambiguation page is Babel (disambiguation). Grimes2 (talk) 00:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

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

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

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. We are at the point of needing a logical explanation of your behavior; for instance, why did you add an image of a circle to Ra? Courcelles (talk) 00:35, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Because Ra is the god of the sun. Grimes2 (talk) 00:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Welcome back! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

9 July music

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

Sounds like Sibelius... Grimes2 (talk) 14:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

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. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

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. - We'll sing Haydn's Stabat Mater in concert at the Limburg Cathedral on 14 Sep. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, can't visit the concert in Limburg Cathedral. It's too late and far away. Grimes2 (talk) 21:10, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. A composer died whose article is long and mostly unreferenced. And some articles open for review, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:39, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for help with the choral conductor! Today it's Siegfried Lorenz (baritone), on his birthday, nominated for RD. The concerns regarding Goehr are detailed on the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:24, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

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 support for Goehr, but the singer needs it a day sooner ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Frankfurt Radio Symphony

Hello Grimes2, thank you for your work on this article. Not only, but also with the historic recordings we got from Hessischer Rundfunk a while ago, this article really has potential, I would say :-) Gnom (talk) 11:21, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

The hr-Sinfonieorchester YouTube channel has about half a million follower! A clear recommendation. Grimes2 (talk) 11:25, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading the recordings. Grimes2 (talk) 09:25, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
