July music
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 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)
 * Found a bit more. Today's story is about her, an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I remember today today Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * She's on the Main page now. 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) 11:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yesterday I listened in concert to Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, with Sabine Meyer (click on music, always). - Today's story is about Ruth Hesse, with a pic in the article only, sadly. I found it difficult to point at a YouTube sample, because yes, her signature roles - the Nurse and Brangäne - exist in great full-length operas with great casts, but hard to find her. - Talking of YouTube: today I was pointed at Elijah by a friend who performed in the concert of the Dessoff Choirs in their centenary year, and I'm quite impressed by samples (beginning and No. 32 where I linked it) - enjoy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11]. Interesting video - in German, so you may profit more than others. If that's not enough my talk offers the chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Gerda, not been ignoring you, I've not been here! Hope you're enjoying the summer! ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, yes, see (and listen to) music, and look at pics, cows the last, moving their ears at an amazing speed to fend off insects, - imagine! Hope you also enjoy summer! How is the hay fever doing? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Fine thanks, it's typically only bad from mid to late June. June 18-28 is roughly the worst period! ♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:14, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
