July music

Thestory is todayabout the first published composition byArnold Schönbergwhich I wasblessed to hear.Listen, and perhaps read whatAlma Mahler(to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page;) --Gerda Arendt(talk)12:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gerda. It's a full time job isn't it keeping up with all the deaths! ♦Dr. Blofeld16:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All of them would be killing, - I'm selective. This person was interesting: all reviews I saw were negative;) --Gerda Arendt(talk)17:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's the problem with editing Wikipedia, you need to self discipline what to edit on here, otherwise it is easy to spend all day on here! ♦Dr. Blofeld17:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree;) - 3 July is the birthday ofLeoš Janáček,and I'm happy I hada meaningful DYK in 2021.It's also the birthday ofFranz Kafka,and I uploaded pics from his family's albumseen in Berlin.--Gerda Arendt(talk)13:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Libuše Domanínská,the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that;) - Overnight,Tamara Milashkinabecame GA andLando Bartoliniwent to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi inIl tabarroin Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod toLiberty) up to Calaf inTurandotin Beijing in 1999;) - 4 July is also the birthday ofBrian Boultonwho was a pioneer ofa concise infoboxin 2013. --Gerda Arendt(talk)12:09, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On a friend's birthday - she is pictured on my talk - I have anotherRD death articlethat needs reviewing,Martti Wallén.--Gerda Arendt(talk)12:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pictured on the Main page: Brian'sMozart family grand tour,mystory today,andMozartrelated to all three items ofmusicon my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, the bass, andLiana Isakadze,a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). --Gerda Arendt(talk)10:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Found a bit more.Today's storyis about her, an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt(talk)13:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I remember todaytoday Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention forRD,Marina Kondratyeva.--Gerda Arendt(talk)19:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She's on the Main page now. Mystory todayis - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - aboutDie Entführung aus dem Serail,opera byMozart,whileyesterday'swas - because of the TFA - aboutLes contes d'Hoffmann,opera byOffenbach,- so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music";) --Gerda Arendt(talk)11:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday I listened in concert to Mozart'sClarinet Quintet,withSabine Meyer(click on music, always). -Today's storyis aboutRuth Hesse,with a pic in the article only, sadly. I found it difficult to point at a YouTube sample, because yes, her signature roles - the Nurse and Brangäne - exist in great full-length operas with great casts, but hard to find her. - Talking of YouTube: today I was pointed atElijahby a friend who performed in the concert of theDessoff Choirsin their centenary year, and I'm quite impressed by samples (beginning andNo. 32where I linked it) - enjoy. --Gerda Arendt(talk)10:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
