Hi, Gerda. Not feeling too well today, but took a shot at this. Please see two hidden notes I left in the text where I was unsure what was proper. Happy New Year! LilHelpa ( talk) 18:00, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
OK, how's that then? I think the Bach bit makes better sense now. PS I just got hold of an old Oiseau-Lyre vinyl (SOL 290) of the Hummel Septet and Quintet with Melos, namely Adeney/Graeme/Sanders/Hurwitz/Aronowitz/Weil/Beers/Crowson: so naturally I thought of you! On this 1966 stereo pressing they are 'of London' on the sleeve and label. Eebahgum ( talk) 10:32, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure how to reference it. Can you remember anything else, such as who conducted it, was a live transmission from an opera house or a radio performance, was it broadcast in a particular series or time-slot which might be identifiable - time of day, etc, - all these things might help someone at the radio station to guide you to the actual day and character of the performance. I suppose it wasn't the WDR 1967 version with Ridderbusch under Erede just being re-broadcast? That was (apparently) in German, with Teresa Zylis-Gara, Vera Little, Gene Ferguson, Karl Ridderbusch, Wolfgang Anheisser, cond. Alberto Erede, recorded Köln 1967. It's on CD being sold from US/NY source 'Operadepot' according to an expired Italian eBay entry. And it's here in an online listing of all Anna Bolenas. Opera Depot Label, OD 10388-2 (2 CD set, issued 2008). Any good? Eebahgum ( talk) 16:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
That very one! Exactly! Thank you! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:09, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I shall have to let you render it into good German for the wp:de version... I put a note in the Anna Bolena article too. ;-) Eebahgum ( talk) 17:39, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Done. I'm guessing it might have been to differentiate from Melos Quartet of Stuttgart, founded 1965, whose article we have both twiddled with in the past. Eebahgum ( talk) 11:46, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, I noticed that you added direct links to German Wikipedia pages in articles such as Josef Rheinberger. These links aren't a good idea because they're confusing to new Wikipedia users and those who don't understand German, are impossible to track using the what links here function, and break in mirrors and forks. A red link is a better substitute, even though it might look ugly. A blue link is an even better solution. :-) Graham 87 16:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Gerda,
I'm glad you've got the DYK going for Mertens. I don't bother about such things much myself but it is nice that your efforts are not going unnoticed: and it really does help to get peoples' attention focused on the subject for a day at least, and often some good comes out of that.
I've been adding slightly to the Derek Simpson (cellist) article: I don't know if you can do anything with it? There's more in the obit source but one doesn't want merely to copy... Best wishes, Eebahgum ( talk) 15:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't know whether youa re aware of the existence of WP:Wikiprojects. If not, these are (virtual) places where Wikipedians with interested in developing certain aspects of Wikipedia can discuss issues that affec several articles, makes plans for future work, talk about co-operating on more complex bits of work etc. Judging by your previous contributions, any of WP:Wikiproject Classical Music, WP:CONTEMPM, WP:Wikiproject Opera, WP:Composers might be of interest.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 13:28, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have noticed that you created the English article about Elisabeth von Magnus. May I draw your attention to this discussion page? Ms von Magnus herself objects against the mentioning of her true age and her parentage, argueing on the basis of her personal rights. German wikipedia has decided to satisfay her wishes. Though the rules of German wikipedia do not apply to its English counterpart, WP:BLP#Privacy of personal information should also be considered. By the way, the year of birth given as 1965 is almost certainly incorrect, see [2]. Cheers -- FordPrefect42 ( talk) 23:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Dear Gerda,
The tag was placed by an editor interested in article quality, and the mode of expression, not by one who evaluates the suitability of modern musicians. Don't panic!! It just means you have to improve the opening statement and add a couple more references, preferably 'hard' ones, i.e. from published material in reliable hard-copy sources. These are only stubs after all, and the only point of tagging a stub thus is to request a bit of firming-up. This should satisfy our peripatetic scrutineer.

No problem. This sort of issue is why I suggested that you consider joining a Wikiproject or two. If something like this happens again, you can always post at WT:WPO or WT:CLASSICAL. I only noticed this going on because your talk page is still on my watch list from last time I posted.
When you've run out of people to write up because of the Bach project, I think that both WP:WAGNER and WP:WPO have list of singers with missing bios. Or you might want to do something completely different for a change.
Thanks on Ridderbusch. I'm planning to get back to him at some point in the medium-term future. I've got a half-written discography which I haven't worked on since this computer played up - I've just got it back from the repairers. The old one I was using is just too slow.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 21:35, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I suppose no-one bothered to write one? - There's a task for you! I've put the Erato record number for the Stam Purcell recording - that was how it was issued. I think you should put some reference for the collected Bach with Koopman - I know one can find it in the links, but to gratify the tag-placer the first statement in that last paragraph needs a footnote-reference. I.E. don't assume knowledge on the part of the reader! Name the source in whatever terms you think best. Issuing record company name should be adequate. Ditto for Buxtehude. Eebahgum ( talk) 23:07, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, this was discussed relatively recently at the classical music wikiproject. The thread is archived at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Classical_music/Archive_26#Bach_cantatas_-_article_names. I can't see that clear a conclusion to the thread. I suggest that you introduce yourself by creating a new thread at WT:WikiProject Classical music and say you want to get involved in sorting this out. I haven't checked to see whether there are articles on all the cantatas or whether some need to be created. I know that there was a previous attempt to start a baroque music project, so you should find some people interested in working with you. I may look in eventually but I have a few things on the go already.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 23:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I wonder if you could have a look at this article you created. A user is insisting on putting notability tags on it. Thanks. -- Klein zach 16:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello! I saw your comment on Jerome Kohl's talk page about the marked dead link on Toshio Hosokawa. I read somewhere in the WP guidelines that if you find a dead link and can't immediately repair it it's better to mark it rather than remove it altogether for two reasons. Firstly the target might only be temporarily missing — if someone comes along later and finds a marked dead link is in fact not dead they can just remove the tag. Secondly it encourages other editors to repair or replace the link, whereas complete removal might not. I hope this helps to explain why I marked the link as dead. In this case, the link given led to a Japanese 404 error page, but I couldn't find any obvious current home page for Toshio Hosakawa. Best wishes! -- Deskford ( talk) 08:31, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Dear Gerda:
Actually I transcribed his German name: Dietrich. The right transcription of his Danish name Dieterich would be /ˈdidǝʁɪk/, but are you sure it is not an arcaic form of his German name?
According the Danish phonology, t is only t (actually /tˢ/) at the begining of words. Otherwise, it is pronounced as /d/ (actually /d̥/). D is pronounced as /ð/ between a vowel and /ə/.
I got IPA transcription from Longman Pronunciation Dictionary.
Kind regards,
Hlnodovic 02:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Gerda. I think if you have a physical copy of the programme for the first festival that counts as a reliable source in itself. I know that the preference is for English language sources, but if you have a source that demonstrates them to be wrong, then I would use that. If you're really concerned you could provide a footnote explaining the inconsitency. There is also a preference for secondary over primary sources but that really applies to consolidation of research or when the promary source could be self-interested. Under these circumstance I see no problem in what you have.
As far as the performers are concerned you've probably got a big enough list of very starry names. That is unless you plan to create a specific list article of performers by year. If you can fill in the gaps on the composers of the year that would be good. I hope that helps.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 16:50, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
I've gone and approved the DYK. However I have suggested a rewording of the hook. Ive also copyedited the article. Im not sure what youre getting at with the following
In a way similar to the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, founded in 1986, musical events should add life to the region rich in cultural heritage: In the gothic church of Kiedrich that houses the oldest playable organ in Germany a special "dialect" of Gregorian chant is performed since 1383.
Is that the founding director's view or yours? If the former it needs citation. If yours then its original research.--
Peter cohen (
talk) 13:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Hagia Sophia seems to be categorised among other things as a former church building. That might be what you want. As for Anna Nolena I think I have to either name all operas or none in a sentence as we shouldn't assume people know even who the Commendatore is. If you're talking about Karl Ridderbusch then I do seem spell things out in some paragraphs and not in others. I think its because at Bayreuth he sang more than one part in some operas. I am confused by your reference to a soprano in Anna Bolena. Looking at the met opera database KR seems only to have sung Wagner there.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 16:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Could you identify the author/translator in one of the short histories and ask him what he means? Do the German wiki pages yield any clue? LilHelpa ( talk) 21:53, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm afraid that I dont know anything about Kagel. I'm working through my backlog of material. I was out some of yesterday and therefore virtually all of my wikitime was spent on my featured list candidate ( Bayreuth canon). I've noticed that Trevor Pinnock is under threat of being delisted as a good artice and therefore my time on other people's articles will be spent on that. BTW I noticed that the Rheingau article mentioned coverage of only three of what were the BBC's four composers of the year last year. Did Purcell - actually my favourite of the four - get any coverage at all or is he really just of interest to the Brits?-- Peter cohen ( talk) 15:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Looking at http://www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/mitwirkende/14/infos_215.htm and the equivalent page in German "in Bayreuth gespielter Opern Richard Wagners" appears to be the equivalent to "Bayreuth canon". I'm sorry but I blow hot and cold over Britten. I do like Peter Grimes' and the Spring Symphony but not the War Requiem.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 20:42, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Salve. :-) One of my favorite operas, that.
I actually sang a bit of the Requiem in college; our choir director had us do the "Agnus Dei" one year. An...interesting experience, to say the least. Well...if you're like me and can't sight-read, anyhow.
By the by, excellent work on the Bach cantatas project. It's always nice to see someone with an interest in classical music editing. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 17:13, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Dear Gerda,
Thanks for your message. I am pretty tied up just now but grateful to hear how you're getting on. We seem to have 'won' that AfD, which imposes some kind of responsibility to improve it. Meanwhile you are forging ahead with good things. You might glance at the article on
Carl Loewe, where someone (who has a username but no userpage) has been posting full lists of compositions onto new companion pages for certain composers (presumably from some sourcebook which they don't name) and deleting a lot of useful information into the bargain. I have posted a link back on the article page to the diff at which the old list is still visible, as I had grouped all the main songs into their cycles and had made a concordance of the Friedlander and Moser editions of Peters, also adding the names of the lyric authors where known. All this has gone out of the window in his/her new list and it needs sorting out somehow. I doubt if my ext link back to the diff is a legitimate WP procedure. The new list is almost worse than useless as one can't easily navigate it. Incidentally, enjoy the characteristic R Wagner quote I added to this article some time ago.... all the best,

Hi Gerda,
In English and according to the Wikipedia Manual of Style, the date may be written the way I had it, which is standard for English. Also, in English, "protestant" is not a religion, it's a category of Christian religions, and therefore, doe not get capitalized as does "Evangelisch" in German. Thanks otherwise for your edits. Marrante ( talk) 11:48, 22 February 2010 (UTC) Having now looked up a couple of references to buttress my own sense of the word "protestant," I have found it written both ways. However, since in speech, anglophones normally speak the name of the month first, I do think that that date order makes most sense in writing, as well. Marrante ( talk) 11:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Dear Gerda, Hi! Excellent work. It would be nice to find the years when he was leader (?wasn't he) of the LSO, (I'll glance through my old Proms programmes for a start), and also to sketch out more fully his relationship to the Aldeburgh Fest and the Britten-Pears school. I feel sure he has an elder official capacity there. He has certainly been closely attached to it for at least 30 years. Let's just hunt around a little further for those facts! They must be out there somewhere... I'm just having a short break from here while the sky falls on my head in various other departments of life...

I can't decide what this phrase means: "In a collaboration with Pina Bausch he conducted Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice for Paris, in 2005 and again 2008 the Balthasar-Neumann-Chor, Ensemble and the Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris performed it in the Palais Garnier and the ancient Greek theatre in Epidaurus,[3] recorded on DVD."

Hi Gerda, just a note to say that opera and classical singers (even when they primarily sing in concert or oratorio) come under WikiProject Opera not the Classical Music project.

Gerda, it never occurred to me that Wikipedia might have pages devoted to individual compositions, such as you have now linked to the Brahms op 88 from the Budapest String Quartet page. Might you care to go through both the HMV and Columbia sections of the BSQ page and continue making more links? It seems a shame to have just this one alone. BTW I've just received a copy of an extensive discography of the Budapest, and plan to start checking for additional entries to make for these. Note I've deliberately linked only the first occurrence of a composer's or performer's name in each section, except where it was pretty widely separated.

I have further replied at this DYK nomination. My concern is the DYK rules requiring that hooks be "interesting to a wide audience", "concise", "short, punchy, catchy", and "likely to draw in a wide variety of readers". To that end I really feel it's necessary to minimise or to explain the large amount of German language and musical jargon included in the hook so that a casual, uninitiated English-language reader can easily understand the significance and subject matter of the hook. - DustFormsWords ( talk) 06:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I actually didn't see the discussion on the talk page; I removed the PROD tag because the stated reason for deletion was no longer valid. If the various claims in the article can't be cited, they should be removed, but that's an entirely different issue than proposed deletion. Since the article now has references, any questions about its existence/notability are probably better handled at AfD that through proposed deletion anyway.

Du sollt Gott, deinen Herren, lieben, BWV 77, I was really puzzled by why I couldn't find a template-y way for adding refs. And now I know. Thank you so much!

At the time I set up the regex to change that link, last year, St Matthew Passion was a disambig page. I didn't know that it had since been moved to point to the Bach version. I'll remove my regex so this won't happen again, but there's no benefit to going back and reversing those changes. Colonies Chris ( talk) 07:48, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Mrs. Arendt,
Thanks for adding the link to cantata; that is a real improvement.
But your replacement of my single quotes by round brackets around the English translations of the Dutch titles puzzles me, for three reasons.
One, I don’t think Wikipedia prescribes a particular format for translations. I consulted the index of John Broughton’s Wikipedia: The Missing Manual, and that has neither the word translation nor foreign language. So I see no need for your change.
Two, I notice a variety of formats are actually used. Besides the one I had and the one you would have me use, I noticed, e.g.:
And likely there will be more. If anyone wants to achieve uniformity in this, he or she will have his or her work cut out!
Three, the main reason why I am puzzled, the format I used [original in italics, translation between single (curly) quotes] is the one prescribed in the Language Style Sheet (available here) of the Linguistic Society of America, which is followed widely by linguists writing in English; cf. The Chicago Manual of Style. If there is one group of people who should know how to deal with translations, it’s linguists. At least, that’s what I thought and think, and that’s why I chose this format. Unless I am given a very good reason to discontinue this practice, I intend to stick to it.

First of all, I must correct myself. The Lemmens instituut was originally in Mechelen (founded 1879), but moved to Leuven in 1968, where in 1995 it became part of the "Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst". So at the time Van Nuffel headed the institute it was actually located in Mechelen. Sorry for that.
About the name: Jules was his given name. I suppose Julius was the name he used in his official capacity as a priest. In this thesis there are many references to literature about him, and he is always referred to as Jules Van Nuffel (for example in the title of a biography his brother Eugeen wrote about him).
One more small thing: I am not from Holland, but from Belgium (Flanders to be precise), but the official language in Flanders is Dutch (like in Holland, only we sound a little different :-). -- Francesco Malipiero ( talk) 15:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Gerda, sounds great! I've done a bit of copyediting, and I've added an unexpected interwiki link. I wonder if you can find more details about her blindness? Like if she's totally blind or has a bit of vision, whether she was born blind, how she learns the music (using braille music and/or recordings, I'd imagine), etc. I know of two blind sopranos who will probably be notable enough to have Wikipedia articles some day, so her field of work is certainly possible!

Thanks for your note about Andris Nelsons. I don't really think that more of an introduction is needing regarding the international stature of Andris Nelsons. The number of 3rd-party references and the existence of the article is, to me, sufficient to convey his importance in the classical music world right now. In my opinion, writing more in the introduction threatens to turn the article into a fan page, which wikipedia is most emphatically not supposed to be. If it is any measure of his current place, you can look at the July 2010 traffic statistics, where there is a large spike at the time of his appearance at The Proms.

In looking at the red links in the Bonhoff article I find that a Google search has Johann Seyfert with his middle name as "Caspar" more often than "Kaspar". I've seen this K/C in my own German ancestors, and am not sure if it is an Englishing of the name or a variant in German as well. I disambiguated his surname and put it as Caspar. I suggest a similar change in Bonhoff. When the Seyfert article is written they can do a redirect.

Thanks Gerda. I will rework the lede, but need to make sure the hook is properly referenced (I had to translate it from French!).

OK, how's that then? I think the Bach bit makes better sense now. PS I just got hold of an old Oiseau-Lyre vinyl (SOL 290) of the Hummel Septet and Quintet with Melos, namely Adeney/Graeme/Sanders/Hurwitz/Aronowitz/Weil/Beers/Crowson: so naturally I thought of you!

I'm not quite sure how to reference it. Can you remember anything else, such as who conducted it, was a live transmission from an opera house or a radio performance, was it broadcast in a particular series or time-slot which might be identifiable - time of day, etc, - all these things might help someone at the radio station to guide you to the actual day and character of the performance. I suppose it wasn't the WDR 1967 version with Ridderbusch under Erede just being re-broadcast? That was (apparently) in German, with Teresa Zylis-Gara, Vera Little, Gene Ferguson, Karl Ridderbusch, Wolfgang Anheisser, cond. Alberto Erede, recorded Köln 1967. It's on CD being sold from US/NY source 'Operadepot' according to an expired Italian eBay entry. And it's here in an online listing of all Anna Bolenas.

Hi Gerda, I noticed that you added direct links to German Wikipedia pages in articles such as Josef Rheinberger. These links aren't a good idea because they're confusing to new Wikipedia users and those who don't understand German, are impossible to track using the what links here function, and break in mirrors and forks. A red link is a better substitute, even though it might look ugly. A blue link is an even better solution. :-) Graham 87 16:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Gerda,
I'm glad you've got the DYK going for Mertens. I don't bother about such things much myself but it is nice that your efforts are not going unnoticed: and it really does help to get peoples' attention focused on the subject for a day at least, and often some good comes out of that.

Hi, I have noticed that you created the English article about Elisabeth von Magnus. May I draw your attention to this discussion page? Ms von Magnus herself objects against the mentioning of her true age and her parentage, argueing on the basis of her personal rights. German wikipedia has decided to satisfay her wishes. Though the rules of German wikipedia do not apply to its English counterpart, WP:BLP#Privacy of personal information should also be considered. By the way, the year of birth given as 1965 is almost certainly incorrect, see [2]. Cheers -- FordPrefect42 ( talk) 23:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Dear Gerda,
The tag was placed by an editor interested in article quality, and the mode of expression, not by one who evaluates the suitability of modern musicians. Don't panic!! It just means you have to improve the opening statement and add a couple more references, preferably 'hard' ones, i.e. from published material in reliable hard-copy sources. These are only stubs after all, and the only point of tagging a stub thus is to request a bit of firming-up. This should satisfy our peripatetic scrutineer.

No problem. This sort of issue is why I suggested that you consider joining a Wikiproject or two. If something like this happens again, you can always post at WT:WPO or WT:CLASSICAL. I only noticed this going on because your talk page is still on my watch list from last time I posted.
When you've run out of people to write up because of the Bach project, I think that both WP:WAGNER and WP:WPO have list of singers with missing bios. Or you might want to do something completely different for a change.
Thanks on Ridderbusch. I'm planning to get back to him at some point in the medium-term future.

I suppose no-one bothered to write one? - There's a task for you! I've put the Erato record number for the Stam Purcell recording - that was how it was issued. I think you should put some reference for the collected Bach with Koopman - I know one can find it in the links, but to gratify the tag-placer the first statement in that last paragraph needs a footnote-reference. I.E. don't assume knowledge on the part of the reader! Name the source in whatever terms you think best. Issuing record company name should be adequate. Ditto for Buxtehude.

Hi Gerda, this was discussed relatively recently at the classical music wikiproject. The thread is archived at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Classical_music/Archive_26#Bach_cantatas_-_article_names. I can't see that clear a conclusion to the thread. I suggest that you introduce yourself by creating a new thread at WT:WikiProject Classical music and say you want to get involved in sorting this out. I haven't checked to see whether there are articles on all the cantatas or whether some need to be created. I know that there was a previous attempt to start a baroque music project, so you should find some people interested in working with you. I may look in eventually but I have a few things on the go already.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 23:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I saw your comment on Jerome Kohl's talk page about the marked dead link on Toshio Hosokawa. I read somewhere in the WP guidelines that if you find a dead link and can't immediately repair it it's better to mark it rather than remove it altogether for two reasons. Firstly the target might only be temporarily missing — if someone comes along later and finds a marked dead link is in fact not dead they can just remove the tag. Secondly it encourages other editors to repair or replace the link, whereas complete removal might not. I hope this helps to explain why I marked the link as dead. In this case, the link given led to a Japanese 404 error page, but I couldn't find any obvious current home page for Toshio Hosakawa. Best wishes! -- Deskford ( talk) 08:31, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Dear Gerda:
Actually I transcribed his German name: Dietrich. The right transcription of his Danish name Dieterich would be /ˈdidǝʁɪk/, but are you sure it is not an arcaic form of his German name?
According the Danish phonology, t is only t (actually /tˢ/) at the begining of words. Otherwise, it is pronounced as /d/ (actually /d̥/). D is pronounced as /ð/ between a vowel and /ə/.
I got IPA transcription from Longman Pronunciation Dictionary.
Kind regards,

Hi Gerda. I think if you have a physical copy of the programme for the first festival that counts as a reliable source in itself. I know that the preference is for English language sources, but if you have a source that demonstrates them to be wrong, then I would use that. If you're really concerned you could provide a footnote explaining the inconsitency. There is also a preference for secondary over primary sources but that really applies to consolidation of research or when the promary source could be self-interested. Under these circumstance I see no problem in what you have.
As far as the performers are concerned you've probably got a big enough list of very starry names. That is unless you plan to create a specific list article of performers by year. If you can fill in the gaps on the composers of the year that would be good. I hope that helps.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 16:50, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
I've gone and approved the DYK. However I have suggested a rewording of the hook. Ive also copyedited the article. Im not sure what youre getting at with the following
In a way similar to the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, founded in 1986, musical events should add life to the region rich in cultural heritage: In the gothic church of Kiedrich that houses the oldest playable organ in Germany a special "dialect" of Gregorian chant is performed since 1383.
Is that the founding director's view or yours? If the former it needs citation. If yours then its original research.--

Hagia Sophia seems to be categorised among other things as a former church building. That might be what you want. As for Anna Nolena I think I have to either name all operas or none in a sentence as we shouldn't assume people know even who the Commendatore is. If you're talking about Karl Ridderbusch then I do seem spell things out in some paragraphs and not in others. I think its because at Bayreuth he sang more than one part in some operas. I am confused by your reference to a soprano in Anna Bolena. Looking at the met opera database KR seems only to have sung Wagner there.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 16:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid that I dont know anything about Kagel. I'm working through my backlog of material. I was out some of yesterday and therefore virtually all of my wikitime was spent on my featured list candidate ( Bayreuth canon). I've noticed that Trevor Pinnock is under threat of being delisted as a good artice and therefore my time on other people's articles will be spent on that. BTW I noticed that the Rheingau article mentioned coverage of only three of what were the BBC's four composers of the year last year. Did Purcell - actually my favourite of the four - get any coverage at all or is he really just of interest to the Brits?-- Peter cohen ( talk) 15:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Looking at http://www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/mitwirkende/14/infos_215.htm and the equivalent page in German "in Bayreuth gespielter Opern Richard Wagners" appears to be the equivalent to "Bayreuth canon".

Dear Gerda,
Thanks for your message. I am pretty tied up just now but grateful to hear how you're getting on. We seem to have 'won' that AfD, which imposes some kind of responsibility to improve it. Meanwhile you are forging ahead with good things. You might glance at the article on
Carl Loewe, where someone (who has a username but no userpage) has been posting full lists of compositions onto new companion pages for certain composers (presumably from some sourcebook which they don't name) and deleting a lot of useful information into the bargain. I have posted a link back on the article page to the diff at which the old list is still visible, as I had grouped all the main songs into their cycles and had made a concordance of the Friedlander and Moser editions of Peters, also adding the names of the lyric authors where known. All this has gone out of the window in his/her new list and it needs sorting out somehow. I doubt if my ext link back to the diff is a legitimate WP procedure. The new list is almost worse than useless as one can't easily navigate it. Incidentally, enjoy the characteristic R Wagner quote I added to this article some time ago.... all the best,

Hi Gerda,
In English and according to the Wikipedia Manual of Style, the date may be written the way I had it, which is standard for English. Also, in English, "protestant" is not a religion, it's a category of Christian religions, and therefore, doe not get capitalized as does "Evangelisch" in German. Thanks otherwise for your edits. Marrante ( talk) 11:48, 22 February 2010 (UTC) Having now looked up a couple of references to buttress my own sense of the word "protestant," I have found it written both ways.

Gerda, it never occurred to me that Wikipedia might have pages devoted to individual compositions, such as you have now linked to the Brahms op 88 from the Budapest String Quartet page. Might you care to go through both the HMV and Columbia sections of the BSQ page and continue making more links? It seems a shame to have just this one alone. BTW I've just received a copy of an extensive discography of the Budapest, and plan to start checking for additional entries to make for these.

I have further replied at this DYK nomination. My concern is the DYK rules requiring that hooks be "interesting to a wide audience", "concise", "short, punchy, catchy", and "likely to draw in a wide variety of readers". To that end I really feel it's necessary to minimise or to explain the large amount of German language and musical jargon included in the hook so that a casual, uninitiated English-language reader can easily understand the significance and subject matter of the hook. - DustFormsWords ( talk) 06:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello, that is a good idea, but I don't think there is any other article I can create about the Newtown-Stephensburg Historic District. I can, however, work on the current article. I am currently working on getting a related article to GA status, so that is taking up most of my time. Once I get that one to GA (should be soon), I will turn my attention to the Newtown-Stephensburg Historic District article and get that up to 5x and then renominate it as 5x expanded, this time on time and not more than 30 days after the fact. :) Thanks for your help though.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

I actually didn't see the discussion on the talk page; I removed the PROD tag because the stated reason for deletion was no longer valid. If the various claims in the article can't be cited, they should be removed, but that's an entirely different issue than proposed deletion. Since the article now has references, any questions about its existence/notability are probably better handled at AfD that through proposed deletion anyway.

At the time I set up the regex to change that link, last year, St Matthew Passion was a disambig page. I didn't know that it had since been moved to point to the Bach version.

Dear Mrs. Arendt,
Thanks for adding the link to cantata; that is a real improvement.
But your replacement of my single quotes by round brackets around the English translations of the Dutch titles puzzles me, for three reasons.
One, I don’t think Wikipedia prescribes a particular format for translations. I consulted the index of John Broughton’s Wikipedia: The Missing Manual, and that has neither the word translation nor foreign language. So I see no need for your change.
Two, I notice a variety of formats are actually used. Besides the one I had and the one you would have me use, I noticed, e.g.:
And likely there will be more. If anyone wants to achieve uniformity in this, he or she will have his or her work cut out!
Three, the main reason why I am puzzled, the format I used [original in italics, translation between single (curly) quotes] is the one prescribed in the Language Style Sheet (available here) of the Linguistic Society of America, which is followed widely by linguists writing in English; cf. The Chicago Manual of Style. If there is one group of people who should know how to deal with translations, it’s linguists. At least, that’s what I thought and think, and that’s why I chose this format. Unless I am given a very good reason to discontinue this practice, I intend to stick to it.

First of all, I must correct myself. The Lemmens instituut was originally in Mechelen (founded 1879), but moved to Leuven in 1968, where in 1995 it became part of the "Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst". So at the time Van Nuffel headed the institute it was actually located in Mechelen. Sorry for that.
About the name: Jules was his given name. I suppose Julius was the name he used in his official capacity as a priest. In this thesis there are many references to literature about him, and he is always referred to as Jules Van Nuffel (for example in the title of a biography his brother Eugeen wrote about him).
One more small thing: I am not from Holland, but from Belgium (Flanders to be precise), but the official language in Flanders is Dutch (like in Holland, only we sound a little different :-). -- Francesco Malipiero ( talk) 15:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, If you're seeing my name a lot on your DYK nominations, it's because I like reviewing your articles! I went ahead and formatted most of the references on Günter Reich so it wouldn't be held up in DYK. But in general, I like your writing and organization of the material. Keep up the good work!

Hi Gerda, sounds great! I've done a bit of copyediting, and I've added an unexpected interwiki link. I wonder if you can find more details about her blindness? Like if she's totally blind or has a bit of vision, whether she was born blind, how she learns the music (using braille music and/or recordings, I'd imagine), etc. I know of two blind sopranos who will probably be notable enough to have Wikipedia articles some day, so her field of work is certainly possible!

Thanks for your note about Andris Nelsons. I don't really think that more of an introduction is needing regarding the international stature of Andris Nelsons. The number of 3rd-party references and the existence of the article is, to me, sufficient to convey his importance in the classical music world right now. In my opinion, writing more in the introduction threatens to turn the article into a fan page, which wikipedia is most emphatically not supposed to be. If it is any measure of his current place, you can look at the July 2010 traffic statistics, where there is a large spike at the time of his appearance at The Proms.

In looking at the red links in the Bonhoff article I find that a Google search has Johann Seyfert with his middle name as "Caspar" more often than "Kaspar". I've seen this K/C in my own German ancestors, and am not sure if it is an Englishing of the name or a variant in German as well. I disambiguated his surname and put it as Caspar. I suggest a similar change in Bonhoff. When the Seyfert article is written they can do a redirect.

It looks like you need 1,500 characters of prose for DYK. Is there anything useful to add to prose section? e.g. why did NBA think it necessary to invent a new numbering scheme? The BWV scheme seemed OK to me. What didn't they like about it? Woz2 ( talk) 14:24, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're getting at. I'd say that "Actus tragicus" is even wronger Latin than "Actus Tragicus", the correct spelling obviously being "ACTVS TRAGICVS". -- Lambiam 19:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda. I will rework the lede, but need to make sure the hook is properly referenced (I had to translate it from French!). Re "Oisins": the German article says "Dauphiné", but the reference says "Oisins" which is a region in the French Alps. So I had to use that. Unfortunately there is not yet an English Wiki article on Oisins. Gruß. -- Bermicourt ( talk) 20:41, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Well spotted! Of course it's only a translation (that's mainly what I do) but the article could be improved. I use the term "club" because that seems to be the generally accepted English term for these organisations - see [8] and [9].
