Hi, Finn!! As I work on Kullervo in my sandbox, that red link for Abraham Ojanperä stares back at me. Too bad, as we have a nice article in Finnish! @ Abraham Ojanperä. Any interest in doing the translation? Hope you've been well! Very warmly, Silence of Järvenpää ( talk) 22:35, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, Silence of Järvenpää ( talk) 21:37, 5 March 2022 (UTC)Gloomily, Gray concluded: "The chances are, then, that Kullervo will never see the light of day, which is greatly to be regretted". Nevertheless, on 1 March 1935, at the newly-built Helsinki Exhibition Hall, Sibelius permitted performance of Kullervo's third movement for a concert celebrating the centenary of the Kalevala's publication. On this occasion, Georg Schnéevoigt conducted the Helsinki Philharmonic and a choir drawn from the YL Male Voice Choir and Laulu-Miehet ; the soloists were the tenor Väinö Sola (who substituted for an ill baritone) and the soprano Aino Vuorjoki. In a review for Helsingin Sanomat, Evert Katila wrote that, given the caustic receives Kullervo received in 1893, Movement III "surprised with its clarity, simplicity and subtle beauty". However, he faulted the soloists as woefully unsuitable in terms of timbre and dramatic interpretation... "[they] did not do full justice to the composition".
Warmly, Silence of Järvenpää ( talk) 21:46, 5 March 2022 (UTC)Sibelius died on 20 September 1957. Nine months later, his son-in-law Jussi Jalas revived Kullervo in its entirety first complete performance since 1893; Helsinki Philharmonic before an invited audience on 12 June 1958; next day, a public concert during Sibelius Week. There has been some debate as to the propriety of performing a work that the composer himself withdrew and denied publication. Santeri Levas, Sibelius's private secretary from 1938–57, wrote that the Jalas concert was "against the expressed wish of the recently deceased master". However, Erik Tawaststjerna, Sibelius's most expansive and authoritative biographer, argued that the posthumous revival of Kullervo "was certainly not in conflict with [Sibelius's] last wishes", as before his death, "he began to be reconciled to the idea that the symphony in its entirety might be taken up... and finally accepted it as something quite natural".

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up.

Dearest Finnusertop: I hope you've been well! I am loath to once again call upon you, out of fear that I am taking advantage of your generosity and overstaying my welcome. But, I have encountered a problem: Finnish (and Swedish) language newspaper articles from the 1892 Kullervo premiere that utilize an old-style font, which I can't decipher and which the National Library of Finland's auto-text conversion software seems to malfunction with. Would it be possible for you to translate the two articles for me that correspond to Oskar Merikanto's reviews in Päivälehti?
The first one is very brief, and the second is approximately two columns. I'm just finding it difficult to contextualize the premiere without the original reviews, which are tantalizingly at my fingertips. On a related note, do you know anyone on WP who you trust of Swedish-to-English translations? Because, the review by Karl Wasenius in Hufvudstadsbladet is similarly in that old-style font. The link is:

Hi, Finn! A quick request. Assuming that you have retained your subscription to Helsingin Sanomat and have a bit of time, could you look to see if there was a news report or critical review on the topic of Sibelius's only opera (from 1896, but then withdrawn after three performances): The Maiden in the Tower (in Swedish: Jungfrun i tornet; in Finnish: Tornissa olija impi). On 28 January 1981 (at least that's the date on an LP I have seen), Sibelius's son-in-law Jussi Jalas and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra resurrected it for a radio concert on yle. Would love to see if the Finnish press even saw this performance as an event worth reporting on and, if so, what they had to say in Finland's paper of record! Thanks and hope you've been well, ~ Silence of Järvenpää ( talk) 21:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Finn! Might you be able to do a quick short one for me? I get the idea from Google translate, but as I would like to quote some of the choice phrasing, I wanted an expert:
Karl Flodin, jonka nimen ylle nyt myös on risti piirrettävä, ensimmäinen arvostelijamme, hienoaistinen säveltäjä ja teräväkynäinen kirjailija... Karl Flodin arvostelijana oli ennen kaikkea taiteellisesti mukana elävä persoonallisuus. Ei niin sanoakseni konsertin kirjanpitäjä ex officio, vaan myös kuulija, joka innostuu, kun innostuttavaa kuultavaa on. Flodin kirjoitti usein pitkältä, multa hänen arvostelujaan luettiin siltä mielellään, sillä niissä oli aina ydintä ja asiaa, vaikkakin muoto oli yhtä elegantti kuin monen arvostelijan, joilla ei olekaan muuta kuin muoto. Ja ennen kaikkea toistan vielä: Flodin oli oikeamielisimpiä arvostelijoita, mitä tässä vaikeassa ammatissa varmaankin tapaa. Ketäpä ei Flodin olisi joskus moittinutkin!"
Thanks for the help! ~ Silence of Järvenpää 22:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
Karl Flodin, above whose name we must now draw a cross as well, [a] our first critic, a sensitive composer and a sharp writer... As a critic, Karl Flodin first and foremost embodied a personality that lived with [the subject matter] artistically. Not a scribe making records of the concert ex officio, so to speak, but a listener who gets excited, when there is something to get excited about. Flodin used to write long, [b] but his critiques where read eagerly because they always contained essence and knowledge, even if form was also as elegant as by many a critic who indeed could offer nothing but form. And most importantly, let me repeat: Flodin was one of the most just critics that one can imagine encountering in this demanding profession. There is probably no one that Flodin had not at times scolded!
We have to reminisce especially his hardworking and skillful writing on clarifying the character and significance of Sibelius' music at a time when public opinion about such was still in a state of chaos.

On 7 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Matti Lehtinen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Matti Lehtinen, a baritone of the Finnish National Opera and professor of singing at the Sibelius Academy, was the voice of God at age 93? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Matti Lehtinen. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Matti Lehtinen), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Thank you for improving articles in June! My song collection is especially rich, look, and the hall where I first heard DFD, Pierre Boulez and Murray Perahia. Do you find the baby deer in the meadow (last row)? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:11, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Finnusertop. I just completed your RM/TR request for Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (North Korea), but just noticed that the original title seems to have been Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (North Korea) (singular "Post"). Do you know which one is correct? DanCherek ( talk) 18:17, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Dear Finnusertop, I hope you are well. Albeit I have slowed down my visible contributions to Wikipedia's DPRK coverage, I have some things in the works. I am glad you continue to be around and I count you as an fellow Wikipedian of note for your good work. I look forward to both of us continuing to contribute to this important area for time to come, and for our paths continuing to cross. To accompany these greetings, I am offering you a cookie :-) Al83tito ( talk) 02:00, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Finn! A quick request. Assuming that you have retained your subscription to Helsingin Sanomat and have a bit of time, could you look to see if there was a news report or critical review on the topic of Sibelius's only opera (from 1896, but then withdrawn after three performances): The Maiden in the Tower (in Swedish: Jungfrun i tornet; in Finnish: Tornissa olija impi). On 28 January 1981 (at least that's the date on an LP I have seen), Sibelius's son-in-law Jussi Jalas and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra resurrected it for a radio concert on yle. Would love to see if the Finnish press even saw this performance as an event worth reporting on and, if so, what they had to say in Finland's paper of record! Thanks and hope you've been well, ~ Silence of Järvenpää ( talk) 21:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Finn! Might you be able to do a quick short one for me? I get the idea from Google translate, but as I would like to quote some of the choice phrasing, I wanted an expert:
Karl Flodin, jonka nimen ylle nyt myös on risti piirrettävä, ensimmäinen arvostelijamme, hienoaistinen säveltäjä ja teräväkynäinen kirjailija... Karl Flodin arvostelijana oli ennen kaikkea taiteellisesti mukana elävä persoonallisuus. Ei niin sanoakseni konsertin kirjanpitäjä ex officio, vaan myös kuulija, joka innostuu, kun innostuttavaa kuultavaa on. Flodin kirjoitti usein pitkältä, multa hänen arvostelujaan luettiin siltä mielellään, sillä niissä oli aina ydintä ja asiaa, vaikkakin muoto oli yhtä elegantti kuin monen arvostelijan, joilla ei olekaan muuta kuin muoto. Ja ennen kaikkea toistan vielä: Flodin oli oikeamielisimpiä arvostelijoita, mitä tässä vaikeassa ammatissa varmaankin tapaa. Ketäpä ei Flodin olisi joskus moittinutkin!"
Thanks for the help! ~ Silence of Järvenpää 22:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
Karl Flodin, above whose name we must now draw a cross as well, [a] our first critic, a sensitive composer and a sharp writer... As a critic, Karl Flodin first and foremost embodied a personality that lived with [the subject matter] artistically. Not a scribe making records of the concert ex officio, so to speak, but a listener who gets excited, when there is something to get excited about. Flodin used to write long, [b] but his critiques where read eagerly because they always contained essence and knowledge, even if form was also as elegant as by many a critic who indeed could offer nothing but form. And most importantly, let me repeat: Flodin was one of the most just critics that one can imagine encountering in this demanding profession. There is probably no one that Flodin had not at times scolded!
We have to reminisce especially his hardworking and skillful writing on clarifying the character and significance of Sibelius' music at a time when public opinion about such was still in a state of chaos.

On 7 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Matti Lehtinen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Matti Lehtinen, a baritone of the Finnish National Opera and professor of singing at the Sibelius Academy, was the voice of God at age 93? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Matti Lehtinen. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Matti Lehtinen), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for improving articles in September! Yesterday, we sang old music for two choirs at church, pictured, scroll to the image of the organ of the month of the Diocese of Limburg (my perspective), and if you have time, watch the video about it. And today I wrote an article about music premiered today, Like as the hart. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:57, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, in Special:Diff/949609018 you referenced 5393 in the Ministry of Unification database however this seems to about Kim Yong-il (김영일, born 17 March 1947) instead of Jon Mun-sop (전문섭, [1] born 24 November 1919) and I can't seem to find Jon Mun-sop in the database.
I noticed this because I'm currently trying to link the database to Wikidata.
