July music

story · music · places

The story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma 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)

Can't believe it's July already! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. - I worked on a tenor today that you started ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda. It's a full time job isn't it keeping up with all the deaths! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

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)

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. Blofeld 17:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I agree ;) - 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) 13:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

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) 12:09, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

On a friend's birthday - she is pictured on my talk - I have another RD death article that needs reviewing, Martti Wallén. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

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, the bass, and Liana 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)
