2024 is the anniversary of the Achtliederbuch, the first Lutheran hymnal of 500 years ago, and - possibly related - Bach's cycle of Chorale cantatas 300 years ago. His works and the chorales on which they are based will be a focus for 2024.
Aoproaching the close for the year (not the cycle): I made a detailed list (see #call for collaboration) below of work needed to bring them all to GA status. Help needed ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241223074300","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241223074300-2024_\u00b7_the_anniversary_of_Bach's_chorale_cantatas","replies":[]}}-->
Ongoing are locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2023 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.
2024 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2024 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ... will come here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.
My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three or more boxes, often one for people remembered and others for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to meetings with friends who gave them to me. I archive from time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC) - updated order --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240101083500","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240101083500-2024_\u00b7_the_anniversary_of_Bach's_chorale_cantatas","replies":[]}}-->

I bestow this award to you, Gerda, for being an untiring teacher. Along with creating so many new music articles that the world can enjoy, you also share with me (and others) interesting anecdotes about the music and your life.

The article Macht hoch die Tür you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Macht hoch die Tür for comments about the article, and Talk:Macht hoch die Tür/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

I offer you my deepest apologies Gerda
Hello Gerda. I would just want you to know that I am very sorry for the ANI discussion I started earlier. I had been having some real-life stress lately and it felt like it may have affected my feelings on-wiki. I'm very sorry for the attitude I have shown you over the past few weeks. I very much appreciate your efforts on Wikipedia and your dedication to the project even if we disagree on many things, and I just want to let you know that despite everything that has happened you are still an editor I admire and respect. You are a net positive to DYK and while we may disagree on views, what we can agree on is that your articles are very informative and a net good to the project. Again, I am sorry for what I have done. Rest assured that regardless of our differences I support your efforts on Wikipedia to improve our coverage on classical music and Germany.

Narutolovehinata5, still today, I'm on a train, the train has a connection (all things that can't be taken for granted): apologies for attitude accepted, but I hope that it really will change, because I felt it becoming a danger to diversity of information and freedom of speech. For those unfamiliar with the situation: we escalated over the hook for Kihwan Sim, which was replaced in prep against my protest. That hook should not run, it's a triviality said about a living person who deserves merit for specific achievements. - I looked at the thread and found some gems of support there that I will place in my "blushing" cabinet, - thank you, all! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240111101900","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240111101900-Narutolovehinata5-20240111024600","replies":["c-ARoseWolf-20240111135200-Gerda_Arendt-20240111101900"]}}-->
This is not an indictment of Naruto but like others on the AN/I thread I have found that Wikipedia seems to have become more hostile. I suppose one could surmise at least somewhat that it is born out of necessity. We appear to live at a time where I feel my thoughts on life and the way I wish to live life are going the way of faeries and dragons. Nobody cares, love is fleeting, and civility and affording basic human respect are more centered on your position in relation to mine rather than the fact you are a fellow human being. The cruelty is not AN/I or Naruto's position. The cruelty is everything that has led up to it. People are becoming less nice and we are told it is normal, discussions less civil but we are told to accept it. Where is the empathy?
Gerda, you are a blessing and so precious, my friend. I said it after we first met and I maintain that yours is one the brightest lights I have been so fortunate to meet here.

On 25 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Shalom chaverim, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that "Shalom chaverim" ('Peace, friends'), a Hebrew traditional folk song, has been sung at events commemorating the Holocaust and victims of anti-Semitic violence? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shalom chaverim. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Shalom chaverim).

Every time I visit your pages I end up having to learn about a lovely new cantata! Thank you so much for all your work. It's BWV 22 right now – what a gorgeous thing, despite the tragic lack of trumpets.

Dear Gerda, thanks for your greeting, which I warmly reciprocate. I have stepped back from wp for the past few months, partly because of pressures at home (caring for supercentenarian mother). But you rightly diagnose the local cause of inactivity and I will strive to take your precious advice to heart. Thanks for noticing, and very best wishes for 2024. So sorry about Seiji Ozawa.

Thank you! - I thank Ozawa personally two (mostly) unforgettable matinees in Tanglewood (where children under 5 were not welcome for the concerts, but the dress rehearsals), of Haydn's Die Schöpfung, choir all in white and singing from memory, "Und eine neue Welt" (And a new world) of unearthly lightness, and a Mozart piano concerto with Mitsuko Uchida (forgot which, forgot rest of the program) when all the birds under the roof of the Shed began chirping when the piano entered, and remember how she smiled. - I thank Christoph Eschenbach for a great Verdi Requiem at the same place, and could do so in person after a concert of Bruckner's Sixths, saying that I liked it very much (and it had been 12 years earlier), and he smiled and said "Ich auch". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240212141900","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240212141900-Eebahgum-20240212140400","replies":["c-Eebahgum-20240213012700-Gerda_Arendt-20240212141900"]}}-->
Uchida held us breathless at Snape Maltings a few years ago with a solo concert of the three final Beethoven sonatas. It seems somehow improper to comment on such a comprehensively personal and dynamically brilliant exposition, but we certainly felt the warmth of the pedalling building the whole conception. It was terrific Beethoven! Your mention of the chirping birds reminds me of an open air evening concert in the Forum in Rome back in 1977 - it was Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and every time the horns came in, all the wild cats that live in the Forum responded by yowling together in a loud chorus after a moment's delay. Whether they liked it or not I don't know, but it touched something in their souls, for the effect came back a couple of times as if it had been written into Sonata Form. Happy cats!

Thankyou for the Tchaikowsky "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" (Nyet, tolko tot menya). You were lucky to hear such a performance live. I like the old Melodiya version by Sergei Lemeshev (his alluring measure and sweetness) but of course quite a different affair to your singer's noble account. Why is it (language aside) that Tchaikowsky's setting never really feels like Goethe? Is it Russian pessimism colliding with echt German Welt-angst? Do the Russian lyrics really render the same words? In the English versions, "None but the desolate" beats "None but the lonely heart", but both are entirely inadequate: you don't get that resonance of the desolate individual such as you also have in "Wer nie sein Brot mit Thränen aß..."Eebahgum (talk) 13:02, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240222130200","author":"Eebahgum","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Eebahgum-20240222130200-Gerda_Arendt-20240220103800","replies":["c-Gerda_Arendt-20240222133100-Eebahgum-20240222130200","c-Gerda_Arendt-20240222083800-Eebahgum-20240222130200","c-Gerda_Arendt-20240222083800-Eebahgum-20240222130200-1","c-Gerda_Arendt-20240223084100-Eebahgum-20240222130200","c-Gerda_Arendt-20240227080700-Eebahgum-20240222130200"]}}-->
(I saw her on stage but with completely different music, and as Suzuki, Cherubino and Paolo.) I can't tell for the Russian, but know that some German words and probably concepts have no true expression in English, and "Sehnsucht" is one of them. Music, however, is much more internationally understood. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240222133100","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240222133100-Eebahgum-20240222130200","replies":[]}}-->
The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago).
Yesterday I learned that a friend suddenly died; we both belonged to a group that traveled once a year for decades, and I remember her vivid talk last summer, same voice and sparkle as when we met.

Dear Gerda, Thankyou for your several kind and cheerful messages over the past couple of months. In case you are wondering, I have not slipped off this mortal coil, at least not yet, but have for various reasons given myself a rest from wp. For one thing I am terribly busy with my supercentenarian Mum whose daily needs for attention are many - for another, I have a progressing series of ailments of my own, including Parkinson's, which keep me feeling fairly grotty - but, most influentially, since my last editing efforts, I have a sense of complete futility at editing here when confronted with the sort of criticisms and condescension which provoked my last long reply on my talk page. I haven't got the stomach to rise to the bait. However I am still here and still watching.

This was the story. I am happy that all six composers mentioned, even the unlinked Verdi, received views around 1k or higher. I believe that it is a myth that our audience isn't interested in such things. Thanks to Mary Mark Ockerbloom who bravely approved the hook.
As it happens, today's story is about singing in defiance ;) - look and listen! - Ten years ago, I worded the hook that appeared OTD, and I quoted from the hymn - together with a pointer to Kafka - already in my response to the 2013 arbitration decision, in the same mood of singing in defiance.

blushing - thank you for understanding! I listened with joy! The closest I came to Janáček was singing the Glagolitic Mass in choir, understanding how his music is language-driven and so expressive.

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.

Thank you both, - a nice reminder of the day I remember well, when I found a friend's name as a red link and began his article, deleted within minutes ;) - I feel grown up since, and want to mark the day by a FAC for a song I love, and a GAN for a Bach cantata approaching its 300th anniversary. The Main page is graced by three musicians whose articles I improved (at least was so when the day began). If you want to celebrate with me, read their articles, or any listed on top of this page ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:16, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240802091600","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240802091600-The_Herald-20240802054200","replies":["c-Grimes2-20240802105100-Gerda_Arendt-20240802091600"]}}-->

Thank you for planning to do more! Normally it takes months until a GA gets reviewed, - will that be long enough? I guess with an expanded music section, we might even go for FA (but shouldn't bother a GA reviewer with too much detail). - Goehr is still on the Main page, so whatever bits you would add today have a chance to be seen by more people. Raising interest was the key motivation for the nomination ;) (I made a typo but fixed it, as explained. I can hold it off tomorrow if you think that is better.) - He deserves more attention. Compared to others, it was low when he died, got higher with the obits, but was (4k+) moderate yesterday.

Thank you Cowboygilbert. You picked my favourite FA, my song of defiance (which was written to large parts by a banned user, not me, and long ago) and DYK such as Magdalena Hinterdobler who was threatened with deletion, and four other opera singers, - a topic not welcome on the Main page ;) - Did you know that I feel that I never had as few DYK nominations as this year? Why does it say "all sections of the Main page", but omits ITN (RD) and OTD where I am more active? Just some question.

And then I learned that Franz Kamphaus died. I saw him in the service on 6 October, which was held up for several minutes for him to arrive, assisted by two people. - I didn't take a pic inside because I was late myself, - here's an earlier one of the place partly decorated by disabled people.

I wrote the article of Franz Kamphaus, bishop of Limburg from 1982 to 2007, a person I had always admired, as a translation, in 2014, when I noticed that his successor had an article in English but not this modest person.

Yesterday was another Tatort service in the monthly series that he always attended. They had a rose and a candle on the seat where he always sat, and didn't change the program because he would have liked it: with Rhein-Main-Brass, the first after the COVID19 pandemic with a concert before. The ensemble (2 trumpets, trombone, tuba) played classical and entertaining music in the concert, and folk songs, including "my" Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud, in the service with the topic "Seasons", reflecting the seasons of the year and the seasons of life. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:19, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241104221900","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241104221900-ITN_recognition_for_Franz_Kamphaus","replies":[]}}-->

Dear Gerda,
I hope life is treating you well.
I was thinking it would be nice to have another modern opera as an FA, I think at the moment it is possibly only Nixon in China. However, I don't have experience with getting articles to FA status. Having read plenty of your articles over the years; and noticing you were on a list of mentors for FAC, I thought you might be able to help; or give some advice, or signpost me elsewhere. There are two short good articles Fire Shut Up in My Bones and Grounded that I was thinking about developing further; though they have a long way to go I'm sure. I would also be interested in improving an article I haven't edited yet, like Akhnaten.

Good ideas. I'm pretty busy, but can help looking. Sourcing Akhnaten more might be the best short-term goal ;) - Fire seems to have been liked more than Grounded, which can be a reason to prefer it for the next, or not. Thank you for what you put into them already, - watched them grow with pleasure. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:45, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241104114500","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241104114500-Heavy_Grasshopper-20241104112600","replies":["c-Heavy_Grasshopper-20241104122200-Gerda_Arendt-20241104114500"]}}-->
Thanks! Sure, I'll have a look at improving Akhnaten for now. Quite a big roles table in that article; possibly needs cutting to just the premiere, but feels destructive :( Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 12:22, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241104122200","author":"Heavy Grasshopper","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Heavy_Grasshopper-20241104122200-Gerda_Arendt-20241104114500","replies":["c-Gerda_Arendt-20241104123400-Heavy_Grasshopper-20241104122200"]}}-->
The role table is sourced, and whatever you feel is too much could go to the talk. You could also split the tabel into premiere, with all roles), and (some) later performances with only the major roles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:34, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241104123400","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241104123400-Heavy_Grasshopper-20241104122200","replies":[]}}-->

A remarkable woman! She's already off the Main page, - would have been so fitting on 11 November, a day when many remember war victims. I didn't want to write her story yesterday which was a day of singing with my church choir on a private anniversary. In music, I matched that to a choir singing in resistance to war (in 2022) at the same location, and Reger's Requiem (which isn't a Requiem) composed in memory of the victims of the First World War in 1915. - If you have little time, look at Riffaud's pic, supplied - as many others - by Storye book. With a bit more time, watch the images framing her biography (some authentic, some from film). If you have still more time, listen to OREYA singing, a chamber choir with only two women singers (both alto) then, because the others had to stay with their families while their husbands served in the war. With plenty of time, also listen to Reger's Soul, forget them not, first sung by the solo alto (17 minutes). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241111144700","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241111144700-ITN_recognition_for_Madeleine_Riffaud","replies":[]}}-->

6) The Arbitration Committee recommends that a well-publicized community discussion be held to address whether to adopt a policy or guideline addressing what factors should weigh in favor of or against including an infobox in a given article.

No, it never happened (although I have asked candidates for arbitration year after year, look at this year's announcement above), but for me, the WP:Mozart RfC was it, where all the standard opposing points (usually 10) were defeated (again), this time by Voceditenore (again, but there were others also). - I think that project composers, where it all began with the RfC of 2010 (that I helped you to find) would be the proper location. Did you know that Worm That Turned (who wrote the infoboxes case) established the consensus for Beethoven, and Brian Boulton the one for Chopin? - Happy thanksgiving!

Today is the last day for the election of arbitrators. In the context of what I wrote above, it's of low interest to me. I asked all candidates a question, and found one so far who looked into the matter and didn't stay at the surface, Simonm223. Thiele was a composer, one of his pieces was called Kafka-Gesänge, and you can listen (click on story). Kafka came to my mind after the infoboxes arbcase in 2013. A compromise was tried by Brianboulton right then for his featured article Percy Grainger, another was implemented by Worm That Turned as the community consensus for Beethoven 2015.

I don't really understand what the issue is with the format of the infobox. The Request for Comment is a categorical one about whether or not the article should have an infobox. What is in the infobox can obviously be edited to align with Mozart's or whomever's.

I'm on my way to bed, sorry. In my first entry here, I explained what needs to be changed. The current one will not be accepted. Individual parameters can be discussed and possibly added.

Okay, I have provided a copy of the infobox that matches Mozart's and addresses the concerns you spelled out here. It seemed wrong to replace the one Robert provided at the top of the Request for Comment. So, I put it in the discussion section. That's part of the ongoing issue here.

If it is not a joke, I would say it’s quite impressive to achieve all this at your age of 15! Keep up!
It seems that you are almost on your way to be a bach scholar. Would you mind to take the time to compose a list of great and useful resources you have known about bach? It should include but not limited to:
books (pre-modern, modern, post-modern, essays, monographs, bibliographies, collections of archival materials), articles, periodicals, essays (like those on High Fidelity), videos (publications, video essays, annotated video scores like those by gerubach), recordings (incl. audio essays like those by leonard bernstein), archived manuscripts, library digital & physical collections, places to visit…
Or could you tell someone like me that has only recently been hit by the greatness of bach (and looking forward to doing some substantial work here on wikipedia about bach) how to find more quality resources about bach? I and future new young bach-lovers would deeply appreciate your effort.

I have no idea if I am in the "new" editor retention program, but I am aware that this feature is enabled by default for all users and think it is so awesome that you participated (and continue to participate?) in such an incredible idea. I think that the community based aspect of Wikipedia is what makes it such a marvel of human accomplishment and why I want to continue to volunteer my time to the project so again, thank you.

Thank you for restoring my talk page two days ago; it seems they has an issue with me because I reverted their edit on Taylor Swift, which was clearly vandalism (you can look in the article history). They posted ramblings on my talk, which I archived cause I had no idea how to respond. It seems they won’t leave me alone like here.

Peace
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

I somehow think you may have heard it before! But interesting origin: "A Basque folk carol, originally based on Angelus ad virginem, a 13th or 14th Century Latin carol, it was collected by Charles Bordes and then paraphrased into English by Sabine Baring-Gould, who had spent a winter as a boy in the Basque country. The tune is called "Gabriel's Message"."

Thou shalt visit my talk daily ;) - Or DYK before Christmas: it won't be Christmas without the annual image article by Johnbod. Martin, I fixed an unclosed br in your exquisite message, which renders the rest of page purple at least in my setup. For some reason I don't know, almost every handmade message come with some formatting flaw. I still prefer those, of course. About my 5 GAs for the feast days: one is done (my "card" to come), one is waiting in review (hopefully for DYK), and I'll send the third nom out now, for Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 41. Who will review in time (for hopefully another DYK), that is the question. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:49, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241218154900","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241218154900-Martinevans123-20241218152100","replies":["c-Martinevans123-20241218160100-Gerda_Arendt-20241218154900"]}}-->

Merry Christmas!
If angels sung a Savior’s birth, On that auspicious morn, We well may imitate their mirth, Now He again is born!
If stars in heav'n shone bright as day To light the manger throne, We should rejoice as well as they That love doth reign alone.
All Glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men Begin and never cease.
The opening chorus of Bach's chorale cantata Ich freue mich in dir, BWV 133, is thought to persuasively express "the essence, the exuberance and the sheer exhilaration of Christmas".

could you perhaps look into what has gone on at the Enneagram of Personality page, primarily in its History section? (Asking because in an earlier season, I was impressed by your work in various contexts.)
We did extensive editing there because we found misused sources (as you will see), then submitted the edits because the page is under a level of protection, the edit was approved (making it appear that there were two votes in favor of the edit, ours, and the editor approving it). Nevertheless, the whole of our edit was subsequently reverted en masse, without regard to any quality of work that was done (including the hour or more devoted just to citation-checking, which led to the issues being found). The bottom line is that we expressed no opinions, just quoted citations chosen earlier by others, at length (to make clear what they actually said).
We truly haven't a pony in this race (view in the overarching matter), we simple were aiming to make the article sound with regard to the sources it already cited. Our edit result did include some section tags, as there were rather egregious problems that were evident.
As it stands, we have reverted that earlier reversion, to return our earlier edit, in the belief that there were two votes favoring it. But we will not touch things again. (We understand there is strong bias against IP editors, even ones with decades here.)

I have a moment to tell you that 1) I'm not familiar with the topic, 2) I'm not a person welcome in some discussions. I have another moment to tell you that 3) I get suspicious if I hear "we" without explanation what "we" is meant. I took several moments to look into it nonetheless, but see no discussion on the article talk, but a pointer to the fringe noticeboard, in general, not to a specific discussion. 4) I'm not familiar with that corner. 5) It would take me too long to find it myself and study it.
6) You - or anybody - should not revert back when reverted, but discuss. (WP:BRD, as you will know if you have been here for decades.) Please go to the article talk page and raise your concern there if needed, and find supporters among people interested in the article, and/or argue further in the noticeboard discussion. I'll watch and say something if I have the impression it might help. - I'd like to ping you but it doesn't work for IPs. How about signing on? Next time you ask (anybody) for help, please supply needed links, such as to the exact noticeboard discussion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:36, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241219063600","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241219063600-71.239.132.212-20241219043700","replies":[]}}-->

Aza24, thank you for the thorough review. I understand that in order to make Bach's chorale cantatas a good topic, this cantata - as part of it - has to be a good article, and I am willing to put work into it to make it so. However, right now I'm working simultaneously on several others with the same goal, and they require less work. I see me getting to serious changes for BWV 8 after the others, which will be in February. (The only one written later, BWV 1, is already a FA.) I'll make small changes now, perhaps today, but will then have to ask if the nom should remain open for longer or be closed and started over when I'm ready. Y'all: any help with this one and the others - making changes or reviewing - is welcome, see above, #calling for collaboration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241229080600","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241229080600-Aza24-20241229002400","replies":[]}}-->
Gerda, I was asked to help on this because it failed draft review. I added a few sources, but thought maybe you would like to take this on as it is about a hymn composer. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC
