300 years ago, a Bach cantata was born: happy new year! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:20, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

And Happy New Year to you, Gerda. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 02:35, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you - inviting you to check out "my" story (fun listen today, full of surprises), music (and memory), and places (pictured by me: the latest uploads) any day! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Mozart music for today! - Thank you for having started Isaiah Jackson (conductor), - can you help to bring the article to a standard presentable on the main page? Unsourced facts, some degree of quoting to closely from the sources, jumps in the chronology ... - he deserves better. I can't even see the obit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:36, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
20 January is the 100th birthday of David Tudor (see my story) and the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen, BWV 13, if we go by date instead of occasion as he would have thought, so see my story for last Sunday, and celebrate ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:46, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

February music

story · music · places

Today some 1510 carving from St. Valentin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:32, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today something new: a 100th birthday of someone alive, György Kurtág! In 2004 I was there when he and his wife played for the Rheingau Musik Festival where he was the featured composer. They played as the 2019 DYK said, on an upright piano, - listen, the last piece was the same. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:56, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is again about Percy Grainger (FA by Brian Boulton), this time with a video that surprised me. - I saw that you wrote an article about one of his works, - thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:28, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

He's always been seriously underrated. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 03:16, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, agree, - how about an article about the piece he played for the BBC, - just a redirect so far? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Today's main page features four biographies I helped to bring there, two women and two men, three opera singers (one pictured) and an actor, - a record for me, I believe ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:40, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
