This AfD could be interesting for the CM project: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of public domain musical works. -- Vejvančický ( talk | contribs) 12:02, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Danish composer Carl Nielsen was born on 9 June 1865, so 2015 will be his 150th anniversary. I would like to create a task force to prepare for this, with the following aims (a shopping list, one of the first things to do would be to decide on feasibility, any additions):
I will also post on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Denmark. I think the taskforce involves both projects but should be located here because of the substantial focus on music. Mirokado ( talk) 20:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Some Bach cantata recordings link a soprano Midori Suzuki and get to a Japanese media educator, feminist and media researcher. I doubt that it is the same person. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:59, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Throughout 2010, many Wikipedia editors have worked hard to halve the number of unreferenced biographical articles (UBLPs) from more than 52,000 in January to under 26,000 now. The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons has assisted in many ways, including helping to setup a bot, which runs daily, compiling lists of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 241 articles to be referenced. A list of all projects that are being tracked can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.
Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. We've done a lot, but we still have a long way to go. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope ( talk) 13:23, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
A while back, I did a thorough rewrite of Bizet's Symphony in C, with the intention of sending it off to FAC. Before I nominate it, however, I was wondering if anyone might wish to give the article a quick peer review . Thanks! Eusebeus ( talk) 19:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
I don't know how many tags could be applied to this article (a biography of a living person), but it must be a handful. It reads like a promotional leaflet, replete with peacock terms and unreferenced claims to fame.-- Francesco Malipiero ( talk) 16:21, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Trying to link to an instrument in the line "An unusual flauto piccolo, comparable to a sopranino recorder, is used to illustrate the sparkling of the morning star." in BWV 96, I need help. flauto piccolo is a redirect to Zuffolo (?), sopranino recorder is red, sopranino is a disambigation page, that leaves recorder#Types of recorders, for the moment, ideas welcome -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Now, that the Bach cantata is Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140, Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme should be the article name of the chorale, instead of a redirect to Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (chorale). I tried to move (the page to it's redirect), but was told that it takes an administrator. What do I do? The same applies to other chorales which were formerly cantatas, such as Christ lag in Todesbanden (chorale) and Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (chorale). -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 12:26, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
After a concert of Bach cantatas we are turning to Requiem (Verdi), an article calling for improvement. The same is true for Chorale, both to my surprise, Please help Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Good question. The website in question has billed itself as his official website (it's actually one of the sources in the article), and is maintained by Provincia di Parma, so there is some air of officialism to it. Blehfu ( talk) 16:05, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Gerda, it would help for future reference if you did not ask questions about "Corno de tirarsi, BWV 162" in a thread headed "Verdi Requiem". Best. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 13:16, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if many editors are aware of the many musical works whose titles end in –ana or –iana. Mozartiana, Chopiniana, Rossiniana and Paganiniana are well known, but there are many others, as I discovered to my surprise when I went looking. Most of them pay tribute to another composer or performer, but some honour extra-musical people (Vincentiana, Freudiana).
I’ve listed as many as I can find at -ana#Use in music. If anyone knows of any others, please add them on. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 23:39, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
This is a redirect to Fantasia (music), I think it should be an article, but am not the expert to write it, smile, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:41, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

An article has appeared on conductor Marzio Conti, but it is written entirely in Italian. Can anyone translate and assess for notability? He seems to have recorded for Naxos Records so may be notable. -- Deskford ( talk) 12:42, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I just discovered that last July Milan Conservatory was moved to Music Conservatoire "Giuseppe Verdi", Milan on the basis that this is the closest English equivalent to its official title, "Conservatorio di Musica "Giuseppe Verdi"". However, "conservatory" not "conservatoire" is the more widely used English word. The French word "conservatoire" is used only in British English, and even there, far less frequently than "conservatory". It's certainly not the way most people would go about searching for it. Besides, on its page headers and logo, the official site actually calls itself "Conservatorio di Milano", i.e. Milan Conservatory. Any thoughts on whether it should be moved back and on the appropriate naming for articles on "foreign" conservatories in general?
I've just created a long-needed article on the Conservatorio Statale di Musica "Gioachino Rossini" with redirects from Pesaro Conservatory, Rossini Conservatory, and Liceo Musicale Rossini (its name until the mid-20th century). Was that sensible? Or should I have used a different primary title? Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 11:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
On Vivaldi's works I find (RV 443) a link to flautino, leading to a disambiguation I can't resolve. Which instrument did he write for? I know that piccolo players love it. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:36, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Trying to place Piccolo Quintet in a list of quintets, I find the best list not in Quintet, but in Chamber music, rather cluttered there. I suggest to at least copy the quintets to Quintet - probably similar for the other combinations. Comments welcome. Quintet could take some improvement anyway, saying "Quintet is a group", and only much later mentioning pieces also. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:42, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

New on St. Martin's day: St. Martin, Idstein. The section on the Mebold organ is more specific in the de-WP, but I'm lacking the terms in English, so left the German words Hauptwerk and Schwellwerk. Please improve, if you can. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
This term struck me, as an article and a heading in Overture, as a contradiction, because the French word is Ouverture, both terms are used in the text. Could that be changed? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:07, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Just noticed: nothing on James Kent (1700–1776) English composer. Where he was mentioned, he was linked to the wrong person. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:43, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
