Thank you for the double! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Pictured on the same 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, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear that you've been keeping busy. I'm running out of ideas for things to write... — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I turned (in 2019) to the list of deaths (now Deaths in 2024) and take care of the articles of those I'm interested in, + those with most sources in German, + women, - usually more than I can handle. If good enough they get to the Main page (RD) with a much easier review process than DYK, where - for some reason I don't know - they tend to attract more interest than DYK. More recently, I turned to influence the anniversaries OTD, - also rewarding. The Mozart opera, however, was brought there by others, and I had no time yet to find out who, - I just liked it. I recently saw it live, in a theatre where an earlier work by him was premiered, and our 2023 choral concert was also by Mozart, - both featured, as I said, in "music" today. Will change tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I keep meaning to check out our local symphony orchestra. I should really give it a go... as for the writing, since trying to come back I've basically been blowing with the wind. I only did one film article, The Great Mecca Feast, and that was mostly because I realized that the film was attracting academic attention after Rukkayah reached out to me a few years back. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Good idea, to listen. (I have red links of artists that impressed me in all recent years, that would be another job ...) - You could get film articles you did in the past to OTD, it's not difficult: find the premiere date, add a one-line blurb about it to the year (example 1782) and the date articles (16 July), with a reference for the premiere, and then to the selected anniversary for that date, - round anniversary preferred, but for the Mozart it was not round. I found in the meantime that PFHLai brought it there for Mozart. The current team is interested in fewer battles and desasters, so film releases would be a welcome alternative. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for an excellent pictured DYK today! - Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers the chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Those are some interesting stories! I don't think I'd seen View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11 before, and I have to see – I definitely see the conversation piece discussed in the article. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 * I didn't even remember that I brought that to GA, so I won't be engaging. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:11, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
