January music

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had it). My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:35, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) - I see I have to write a bit more to connect the message to the image ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do my best to write something more. I'm glad you had a nice vacation Gerda. I enjoyed my wikibreak, and I appreciate that you kept updating me. It helped me feel connected even while away. — Wug·a·po·des 07:38, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, makes me feel good ;) - I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. - On Mozart's birthday a few days ago, almost 33k views were counted to his article, - almost as many as an average TFA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:35, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

February music

On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:56, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story torday is about an actor who played in almost every German TV series and in international cinema. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

today: a German-born Spanish art collector, - the video in her honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:02, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find today's birthday child particularly inspiring, by enthusiasm and determination. That was - believe it or not - a pictured DYK in 2021, without the last line though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Plishka, a bass who sang 88 roles of all kinds at the Met was interviewed before his (first) retirement. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:57, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about Edith Mathis, who portrayed young women by Mozart. The video of a 1993 interview has videos of her performances. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:49, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I point at a composer today, as the main page does. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:00, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
