A few more pics, now from back home, a bird family ;) - listened live to a fascinating woman conducting "her" orchestra which now has an article --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Wow, Gerda Arendt:
"Lyniv is the first female conductor to be named music director of an Italian opera house."
! --Rosiestep (talk) 11:48, 4 April 2024 (UTC)- yes, and the first to conduct at the Bayreuth Festival possibly even more sensational, and then she comes and speaks in lovely German on the cause of her youth orchestra, and conducts with great economy of movements, - not a show but serving the music, - did you look at a video? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:21, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed, - and the woman behind it pictured, not the man, and I'm proud of that little bit), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (look up places - no cat) - I was undecided so show three versions ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Today I see Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- I have never listened to Marian Anderson previously, but now I shall. Cherry blossoms are so beautiful! --Rosiestep (talk) 17:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- now plum tree blossom for Kalevi Kiviniemi in the snow - see my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:05, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, such an accomplished organist. May he RIP. --Rosiestep (talk) 12:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- thank you! - My story today is about a piece composed for the Second Sunday after Easter 300 years ago, and I just returned from a (long) opera about the same age, with soprano Pretty Yende --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Nice! I've been in the Bay Area this weekend at 2 conferences. Yesterday's cat was looking up; today's is looking down. As for me, I'll be looking straight ahead and side-to-side as I make the drive home shortly. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hope you made it home safely! - relief: the last of six RD articles in one week is now on the Main page - yesterday I went to a great recital with many anti-war songs by Jewish composers whose music was banned by the Nazis. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- That must have been a very moving recital. --Rosiestep (talk) 09:00, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- It was, and I sat first row (see my pic, taken standing where I sat), and he sang it all from memory. Schönberg Op. 1, sooo expressive, and has no article ... Positive review. And here we are rehearsing for our next concert, to be very moving. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:48, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- I could see the 'here we are' photo for a split second before a German-language message popped up, but that was long enough to capture it in my brain. Wishing you a wonderful 'next concert'. --Rosiestep (talk) 09:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- In my browser, the message comes below the pic, and requests subscription. Perhaps foreigners are treated differently - unfairly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:06, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- ps: your cat today looks colour-coordinated not only with the carpet of flowers but also with our concert poster (in print even closer than in the online version) ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- The RD articles were followed by two birthdays in a row, and I prefer those (see my talk). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed, a good match with your poster. What is 'RD'? --Rosiestep (talk) 14:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- (you didn't ask further up) Recent deaths - (DYK OTD TFA ...) a corner on the Main page. Tomorrow will be the first day without one by me in a while. Instead, a dear person died in real life, - we had no contact in decades but still ... listen to my story. I came to say that I uploaded pics of a flock of sheep, matching a title from our poster. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, now I know what you're talking about. Sorry; should have remembered in the first place. Congratulations on all of those Main page articles. Impressive. Extremely cute flock of sheep! I started an article over the weekend which you might enjoy: Marietta Sherman Raymond, a violinist and orchestral conductor. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- today a sad task - memory of Andrew Davis - turned into entertainment (yt at the bottom of his article, actually both) -- the latest pictures capture extreme weather --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- It was nice listening to the music while he conducted, and also his commentary. "Heavy clouds, Eschenhahn" is a beautiful photo! --Rosiestep (talk) 15:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! - For my story, I took the same woman as last year, but now you can see a photo (thanks to Storye book), and listen to her singing: soul, forget them not, the dead. Will look at the violinist, - another 300 years Bach cantata is my topic toda, - we can do better now than in 2011. Snow pic to follow eventually. Brother will play concert at MARTa Herford on Sunday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- How was brother's concert at MARTa Herford? --Rosiestep (talk) 13:19, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Excellent, pictured! But now I'm tired, needed early rising and longish train travel. Too many composers to even list, Lully, Glass, etc, a Piazzola tango to conclude, and a lot of literature in between in several languages - when you read the players' names you'll see why. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

done, nice peaceful day out with friends - today you can look at the last three stories or "music" on my talk: the same topics, Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, Samuel Kummer and (pictured as you will have seen) one row of 8 double basses and another of 5 bassists ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
New Pages Patrol
Hi, thank you for your work on New Pages Patrol, including my last couple of new articles. It is a valuable contribution to maintaining the quality of the encyclopedia. TSventon (talk) 15:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- TSventon, you're welcome. I really enjoy participating on NPP. I learn so much. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:30, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Would you mind taking a look at the new page that I have created and possibly mark it as reviewed? Jeraxmoira appears to be dragging his feet about finishing the work he started. Also, take a look at the talk page, that will give you some background. I believe that I have made the necessary changes to address all of his concerns and feel that the article qualifies for publication otherwise I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Thank you. BuffaloBob (talk) 13:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi BuffaloBob. Thanks for reaching out. I think it's fine and I've marked it as reviewed. --Rosiestep (talk) 13:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
