November music

For a surprise, a Bach cantata is on the Main page today, where it was last year for the 300th anniversary, and they were too lazy to find something new ;) - It has lilypond of the beginning of the closing chorale. Look at my story, and listen to the 3 whole-tone steps and the dialogues of Fear and Hope. - An open letter open to be signed (more info on the talk), - I haven't checked if you did, please ignore then. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Late reply... yes I signed the open letter, thank you for spreading the word because it is so important and concerning. Back soon with more chorale scores, btw. DanCherek (talk) 04:41, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for both. We have now also Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig, BWV 26, to look at. - DYK that blank lines in threaded discussions "confuse" the screenreader? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:30, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think those get automatically inserted by the Reply tool... DanCherek (talk) 04:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded more pics, on a mountain in the sun above the fog. - Madeleine Riffaud - remember. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:09, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event, but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.

December music

Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. BWV 62? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:33, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today, listen to Sequenza XIV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:35, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BWV 121? (for Christmas) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Real-life busy-ness has been ramping all the way up recently but I will try to get to it when I have time. DanCherek (talk) 04:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understand, and it's for 26 December. Best wishes! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antonio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:16, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Chargoe (21:17, 6 December 2024)

Hi! I'm relatively new to editing on Wikipedia and I was wondering: what kinds of edits would warrant asking permission on the article's Talk Page beforehand? I assume minor copy edits are okay without asking, but I've noticed other users asking permission to edit seemingly small issues. What's generally the norm / where is the line? Thank you! --Chargoe (talk) 21:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chargoe, typically everyone is encouraged to just be bold (see WP:BEBOLD) and go ahead and make the changes directly to the article. Some cases where it would be better to discuss on the talk page first might be if the editor has a conflict of interest regarding the subject (like if someone is a friend of the article's subject or an employee of a company), if the change seems particularly controversial and they anticipate that it might result in disagreement anyway, or if it has been previously discussed with no consensus to include, so a new discussion is needed. Hope that helps! DanCherek (talk) 16:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
