:: Description is back at [[BWV 243a]]. All the "Bärenreiter D-dur score" references have been removed though (wasn't even clear which of the many publications of the score by Bärenreiter the page numbers referred to). I left two publicly available D-dur sources listed in the BWV 243a article (Autograph, and Schering 1924). Plus the Novello 2000 and Dürr 1955 info, applying to both the D major and the Eb major versions. I suppose these should suffice for giving references for all what is different between the two versions in the description. See first two sentences of the [[BWV 243a#1]] description of how this could work. There's an OR template up, until all this has been sorted out in the description.

:: Re. D major infobox. Why not? There's no discussion at [[Talk:Magnificat in D major, BWV 243]], and I couldn't find anything in the edit history of the article showing anyone opposed an infobox. Anyhow, the description content is now transcluded in the [[BWV 243]] article, so (not to spite you or whatever, just a practical solution) when the description is improved in 243a, the improved movement content automatically also appears in 243. Keep this in mind though when editing the 243a description of the communal 12 movements: if it doesn't apply to both versions either 243 or 243a needs to be mentioned explicitly, + appropriate references to sources listed in both articles. --[[User:Francis Schonken|Francis Schonken]] ([[User talk:Francis Schonken|talk]]) 10:50, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

FYI, the official way to address the "acknowledgement of authorship" issue *is* "split" templates on the talk pages. They are put there, and stay there ''after'' the split has been resolved. See [[Wikipedia:Splitting#How to properly split an article]], step 8.

:: Learning, thank you. (I am sorry that I had missed your response above, - it happens when I get more than one message.) I think to say that the information was "split" from D to E-flat (that's what I read) is misleading, but I stop caring about it, going to write CPE's, finally.

Welcome!

Hello, Gerda Arendt, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Graham Waterhouse, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted. ...

Go Gerda Girl

You do great work and I love it! Don't let Tony get to you. Ihre Arbeit ist grossartig. Weiter schreiben, eien lange Zeit. PS, I really liked the article about the church the communists blew up.

Some baklava for you!

I'm not by there very often, but today I saw the recent kerfluffle at AN/I and thought you could use some sweets. Lest you think this is all selfless, though, I brought a second fork. Care to split it? -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:33, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, sweet of you, - I would share with Andy first if his doctors allow. Day by day I hope the thread autoarchives (havn't looked today), - I am sure his doctors allow no stress ;) . Did you see the list of 18 discussions "drowning" a project? - Everybody who takes an unbiased look is welcome to share the baklava! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hope is precious and great joy is found in living

Thank you for the sapphire—cornflower blue is a color of some significance to me. In the maelstrom that Wikipedia can sometimes be, remember these words from Ode to Joy:

   Wem der große Wurf gelungen,
   Eines Freundes Freund zu sein,
   Wer ein holdes Weib errungen,
   Mische seinen Jubel ein!
   Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele
   Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
   Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle
   Weinend sich aus diesem Bund! 

Walk lightly and remain yourself, above the fray. StaniStani  09:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, it helps to open my shop again. - I sang the words last year, here, helping. The blue colour is also of significance to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The 100 DYK Nomination Medal

Gerda, to mark this new milestone. "Light as a flight of tumbling birds was the dipping and soaring of her syllables." Moonraker (talk) 00:06, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations. Oh, my gosh. You were really working. I think I am at my 5th... Hafspajen (talk) 12:25, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think you read that wrong, it's for nominations for others, something I am really proud of ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

FA congratulations

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172 to FA status recently. I know you know all about WP:TFAR and the "pending" list, so this is just a reminder to use them as and when suits you. Many thanks. BencherliteTalk 10:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, your comment makes me even prouder! Date for this one: the centenary of the first performance is 20 May, but it was written for Pentecost, performed on various dates whenever that was. It would make more sense to me to have it on Pentecost, 8 June, nothing pending yet. What do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:38, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. We might have a religious weekend with Wells Cathedral the previous day to mark the new bishop's enthronement. BencherliteTalk 10:55, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
May I add my warm congratulations, dear Gerda? Excellent news, and thoroughly merited. Tim riley (talk) 10:29, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Tim, for support in general and diligent spotchecks, unafraid of German, in particular, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:38, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can I add my congrats to the above? A thoroughly deserved and welcome addition to our FAs! - SchroCat (talk) 09:57, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, thank you for good ideas in the peer review, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:21, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to thank everyone in the great team to achieve this individually, but do it here, going on vacation, with sporadic access, - take care! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:21, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on getting this article through FA and a well-deserved FOUR award...just to let you know, you can put a little top icon for FA, GA, and Four on your user page by posting somewhere on your user page:

  • For the FA star: {{FA user topicon|article_name=Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172|date=13 March 2014|icon_nr=1}}
  • For the FOUR award: {{Top icon|imagename=Four Award.svg|wikilink=Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172|description=This user earned a Four Award for work on Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172.|icon_nr=1}}

Just don't forget to change the "icon_nr=" parameter as needed. Good Job, Gerda. I very much enjoy your continued work on the Bach Werke and other musical gems.--ColonelHenry (User:Gerda Arendt/ColonelHenry|talk) 22:04, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I will have one top icon, like a friend in the group "who have just given up", - all FAs are mentioned below, some in the infobox ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 04:54, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, pure pleasure! Looking forward to "your" station! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:48, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerda. I was wondering why such an obviously virtuoso pianist has so little coverage these days, despite being relatively young as pianists go. Perhaps you were too? I found his official YouTube channel. It has no videos on it (although others have uploaded some old ones to their channels). Anyhow, he did have a comments section where someone in France, who had heard him play years ago and greatly admired him, asked when he would be performing again there. Cocarelli replied [1]:

"Je vous remercie pour ce souvenir heureux pour vous et pour moi. Malheureusement les concerts ce n'est plus d'actualité, du moins tant que je traînerai des troubles neurologiques qui me handicapent sévèrement dans ma mobilité et au piano. Je vis en France, en Sarthe, où j'enseigne le piano dans deux petites écoles de musique (dans mon état, impossible d'envisager une place dans un conservatoire). Vous souhaitant Bonne continuation. Merci encore!"
(Thank you for this happy memory, for both you and me. Unfortunately, concerts are no longer possible now that I suffer from neurological disorders that severely handicap my mobility and my ability to play the piano. I live in France, Sarthe, where I teach piano in two small music schools (in my condition, it is impossible to imagine a place in a conservatory). Wishing you good luck. Thank you again!)

How sad! Best, Voceditenore (talk) 10:29, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sad. Thank you for coming over to tell me! Happy, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sweet Woman.

Hope you and yours are doing well. Hugs always, — Ched :  ?  15:08, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With you appearing, I am better, compared to the sadness on top. Believe it or not, there is more peace now in infobox topics ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:36, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Surreal Barnstar
In belated response to your efforts at Franz Kafka, my favourite author, and also for your kindness in telling other editors (i.e. me) that they are valued, I grant you this barnstar! Thanks very much for doing what you do. RGloucester 02:19, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Mouvements d'Harmonie

HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC) 12:03, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much

Your message cheered up the morning. Was wondering if you were interested in an RfA. If yes, would be a pleasure nominating you. Wifione Message 15:49, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! About a nomination: it's an honour, but read a few messages around here first. The best answer was by Dr. Blofeld ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:59, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, have read the whole thread. My view is different; there are many content writers who ensure they take up only those administrative areas that are related to content writing and that don't take away the pleasure of/from volunteering. And I would recommend you go for the RfA. If you're on for it, I'll continue on email. If not, no issues. Best regards. Wifione Message 08:37, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ernst Roth

Grave of Ernst Roth (1896-1971) in Twickenham Cemetery, London, UK.

Hi Gerda. That photo of Ernst Roth's gravestone is now uploaded. I've put a thumbnail here. You may want to crop it down a bit before using in an article. Please use as you see fit, and apologies for taking so long to get round to uploading it. Not quite eight months, but still a long time. Hopefully better late than never.

I like to read the period recognition of artists! - You would have liked the concert I just heard: Murray Perahia and the Academy in Beethoven's fifth piano concerto at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden, Perahia's debut at the Rheingau Musik Festival, - standing ovations for a quite lyrical inspired performance. - Recommended listening: an interview with him, about his relationship to Benjamin Britten. - Will be away for rehearsals for most of the weekend. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rondo

A merge proposal could win consensus if the main article had more discussion of the other movements, so it stayed balanced. I like infoboxes. This article is part of a series, and readers should get a consistent experience. See Help:Infobox – "The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article. Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through discussion and consensus among the editors at each individual article." The "main editor" does not have any special say. I am not qualified to judge the sources. I am generally suspicious of websites, but they may be good. I would not remove citations of sources that seem reliable. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:22, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:48, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kitten for you!

Sending love to Gerda! Did you see my first FA? :-) Also, since you like humourous Wikipedia, did you get to see this one: Meta:Friends of gays should not be allowed to edit articles. :-) Cheers!

Thank you! Good to start the day laughing. (Yesterday was a funeral day.) Lovely FA! I had my first solo also this year. When would you like yours to appear? WP:QAI can help with it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:07, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank goodness for you, Gerda; if it hadn't been for your hint, I wouldn't have known that I am supposed to submit to this TFAR thing (that I just finished) if I want to see my article on the main page. It pays to know smart people. Magnificent FA! Prhartcom (talk) 04:38, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I helped to compile the article on Janáček, so I'm curious ... and I can accept criticism :) --Vejvančický

The compilation is great, I would criticise just the lead, and it's not your fault, it's the general layout. I think that a reader first should know that the person pictured with a woman is a composer, and about what time, - only then details of pronunciation, alternate names. There's an easy solution, but not liked by Classical music ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:49, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. I don't fight the "infobox battle". Honestly, I have no opinion on that. Both ways work for me and for any intelligent person, I believe. When I look at the article it is clear to me in 1 or 2 seconds what it is about, with the infobox or without it. Thanks for your explanation, Gerda. With my best wishes - Antonín Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 14:35, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't fight any battle, but for me a listing with parameters is just easier to grasp. Look at Genghis Khan, - the lead is even more complicated, with Mongolian that doesn't show, but one glance to the right tells me something. I will have to understand why for composers that is not offered for people like me. Those who don't like it could opt out even to see it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sitting on your bench, dreaming around, hey, Gerda... Planning the next article ? Hafspajen (talk) 10:34, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My plans are secret ;) (I can give an infobx only to articles I create - and by create they don't mean a creative process but turning a red link to blue, - if I create a decent article from a one-line stub, that's not create, - therefore I avoid red links). I work on Locus iste. Want to find out if the chapel pictured is the chapel for which it was composed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:13, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Be careful with too much secrete solemnity - our common liking O.J. Bierbaum on Stefan George: „Feierlich sein ist alles! Sei dumm wie ein Thunfisch, temperamentlos wie eine Qualle, stier besessen wie ein narkotisierter Frosch, aber sei feierlich, und du wirst plötzlich Leute um dich sehen, die vor Bewunderung nicht mehr mäh sagen können.“ ;) Serten (talk) 15:05, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have to be secret, - not for solemnity but because of my state of shame ;) (which I came to enjoy) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:09, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda, I wouldn't mind having the same kind of infobox like THIS ONE, - same coliur, same size on painting and all of it. But it is in Russian... don't know how to make it English. I specially like the colour of it, it goes perfectly with the painting's own. Hafspajen (talk) 13:32, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You don't decide on the style of an infobox, the template does it. For {{infobox church}} (St. Martin, Idstein) and {{infobox musical artist}}, they work with colours. I like it plain, so go always with {{infobox person}} (Gabriela Eibenová) and often with {{infobox building}} instead. Yours would be {{infobox artwork}}, I think. For some, you can adjust image size. If you don't like a template, go to the template talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:31, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Magnificat (Rutter)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Magnificat (Rutter) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Tim riley -- Tim riley (talk) 19:02, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! I've beaten the bot to it this time: I've just promoted the article to GA – wholly deserved! Tim riley talk 12:01, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Magnificat (Rutter)

The article Magnificat (Rutter) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Magnificat (Rutter) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Tim riley -- Tim riley (talk) 12:02, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget to add the two citations to the quotes in the third paragraph of the lead, as mentioned at the GAN review. I'd do it myself, but I have no idea how to make sfn work: I do my own referencing with a hammer and chisel, Stone-Age style. Tim riley talk 17:53, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda, I wrote my first enWP song entry, would you help me please with the infobox ;) ? Cheers Serten (talk) 22:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I may not add one, but can help. See what you understand of {{infobox song}} and {{infobox musical composition}}, and see what fits better. Move the image name (without prefix) to the appropriate parameter in the box, and the caption to the caption parmeter. Good luck, need sleep. - Can you help with this one (move it), - celebrating Kirchweih today by singing Monteverdi ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:58, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox poem was deleted, and the song one doesnt allwo pics, so you helped me a lot. I didnt get the hint with the move - where to? I would however support a sort of unified infobox scheme whereever you need me.

Locus iste infobox to Locus iste (Bruckner). Dangerous. I didn't "create" the article, so say the rules, and I may not add an infobox to an article I didn't "create". However, I believe that I created the article, and most Bruckner composition articles have an infobox, - our readers don't object ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:16, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it makes sense with that article as well. Serten (talk) 14:28, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The first time I saw a countertenor, first not believing to hear him, was in Scotland. I wasnt aware of Scholl, great article! My last biography opus magnum is Reiner Grundmann, and I never would write a science bio without an infobox. Serten (talk) 17:48, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Of course not ;) - by avoid bios, I meant bios of our list. Scholl was a long article when I met it, - it improved greatly with the help of friends and one of his harpsichordists, - look at the history which contains one of the edits I love best. - As for GA and infobox, not only are all my good articles graced with an infobox, but five of them were reviewed by users who don't particularly like them, namely Smerus, Dr. Blofeld and Tim riley. - Scholl stood almost next to me as a soloist of Bach's St Matthew Passion, - a lasting inspiration. When he sang He was despised, you would have heard a needle fall. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment for Bach cantata

Hello Gerda, would you mind assessing the importance of Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172 for WikiProject Germany on the article's talkpage please? I know little about Bach cantatas, so wouldn't be able to judge their importance within German music and specifically on en-Wiki (I am just looking on some of the more notable or well-developed Germany-related articles, not going to assess 14.000+ stub articles). GermanJoe (talk) 17:27, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not specifically important, one of many. Christmas oratorio and the Passions would be important, performed by all halfway able church choirs, also Brandenburg Concertos etc. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:33, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Marked as low importance then - thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 17:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Gerda,

Bruckner's Locus iste is indeed becoming a "good" article. Unfortunately Nikki, who was somewhat calmed down, is again disputing about the Infobox, as a stubborn procedural barrister. Are there any means to let her stop it?

I am for sure willing to expand the discography, etc., but I am no more intended to again lose time with beating with her around the bush.

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 08:06, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I started Ave Maria, instead of arguing ;) - liked to see your name in the comments to the free scores. Please add Selected recordings there as well, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:11, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Gerda,
I think that there should be a separate discography for each of the three settings. The only CD with the three settings is that of Robert Shewan in 1991, but, as you can see on Hans' critical discography, it is absolutely not his first choice and also not my own first choice...
I will first, as I did for the other motets put some comments on the discography in the talk page. ::--Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 12:04, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like we should write 3 articles, then. Do you think Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner) would be a good name, with a redirect from the current? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Changed my mind, suggest to leave the current as THE Ave Maria by Bruckner, but have WAB 5 and 7, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:24, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now we have Ave Maria, WAB 5 (Bruckner) and Ave Maria, WAB 7 (Bruckner). Please fill the articles, not the talk page ;) - Where should 5 and 7 go in the template? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:05, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Another option: Take example on Bruckner's early Masses. Make a "global" page Ave Maria (Bruckner) with a text, which shortly describes the three setting, and writing also that there are all in F major and with the same peroration on Jesus; and have as for the early Masses 3 linked pages, i.e., Ave Maria, WAB 5 (Bruckner), Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner) and Ave Maria, WAB 7 (Bruckner). I would then complete the 3 linked pages. I have the full history of each in van Zwol, also the musical score and an own discography. What do you think? --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 15:16, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
PS: The same would occur for Christus factus est. There are also 3 settings: WAB 9 (so-called by Grasberger, actually the gradual of the Messe für den Gründonnerstag), WAB 10 (the least known, for 8-voice choir, 3 trombones and string ad lib. - only two recordings: one fully a cappella by J. Brown [1997] and one "faithful" to the score by R. Luna [2013]), and WAB 11 (the most popular, as WAB 6 for the Ave Maria). For the Libera Me you have two settings: WAB 21 and WAB 22. For the Pange lingua also two settings: WAB 31 and WAB 33, and for Tantum ergo 8 settings: WAB 32 (wrongly called Pange lingua by Grasberger), WAB 41 (1-4), WAB 42, WAB 43 and WAB 44; some of them being in two versions ...
As there is one major Ave Maria, I would leave it as is. Christus factus est will be as good for Good Friday as Locus iste was for our Kirchweih ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good so. I will thus put the additional info and discography of WAB 6 by the "major" Ave Maria, and that of WAB 5 & 7 by the WAB 5 & 7 pages. Hopefully will our "best" Nikki not interfere! --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 17:46, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your double revert at Rondo in C minor

I'm a long-time reader. You're edits like on Rondo in C minor make things worse for readers. Readers don't get to choose what goes on a wikipedia page, as you just proved by reverting me. You have all the power. Not good for readers. You never hear from readers like me.

Long-time reader, please sign your posts. I reverted you ONCE. I don't do more than one revert. (You reverted twice.) Please discuss your point of view on the article talk page, where others spoke already. We have something here that is called consensus. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry! The second time I was it, who reverted the repeated deletion by this anonymous reader, because I found his/her deletion not substantiated (ugly? "deest" not defined?). --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 20:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bruckner's Ave Maria settings

Dear Gerda,

I think it would be better to rename the page Ave Maria (Bruckner) to Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner), instead of the current redirection from Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner) to Ave Maria (Bruckner). Reason: I have re-categorised Ave Maria, WAB 5 (Bruckner) and Ave Maria, WAB 7 (Bruckner) to Category:Motets by Anton Bruckner. It looks now strange: one Ave Maria without WAB number and two with WAB numbers 5 & 7... --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 14:45, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Most people do indeed know only the "famous" Ave Maria (WAB 6). Why would you not invert the redirection, i.e., renaming the page Ave Maria (Bruckner) to Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner), and redirecting Ave Maria (Bruckner) to Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner), so that the current odd look of Category:Motets by Anton Bruckner be solved? --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 15:30, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have redirected it to Ave Maria WAB 6 (Bruckner) (without comma), because it was not possible to rename it to the already existing page Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner). It is not ideal because WAB 6 is so in italics, and WAB 5 and 7 not and with a comma... If you do not agree, please do not hesitate to revert what I have done. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 17:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why should I. redirects don't hurt ;) - I believe that the shorter name is better, - look a Wagner's stage works, some just name, some (opera), - may he not notice ;) - Ave Maria (Bruckner) looks fine to me, short and sweet covering WAB 6. Who knows WAB (as the IP said, blocked btw.)?
I moved back, also because of use in articles which would get needlessly complicated. If you think there should be an article covering all three, go ahead, write it. I feel that it is enough that they refer to each other in the lead. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:15, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that what I did was shaky. You will perhaps find me a hairsplitter, but we have three different Ave Maria in Category:Motets by Anton Bruckner, and only one in {{Anton Bruckner}}. The other motets are currently placed in chronological order in {{Anton Bruckner}}. WAB 5 is also called "Ave Maria I", WAB 6 "Ave Maria II", and WAB 7 "Ave Maria III". They are in different styles and were composed in different periods of Bruckner's life: end of the Sankt-Florian period, beginning of the Linz period (end of Sechter's tuition) and the Vienna period (the so-called "mature" period). Would they not have to be also put chronologically in {{Anton Bruckner}}, as, e.g., Ave Maria I, II & III? --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 21:42, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We have only one in the navbox because you did't answer the question where to place them ;) - A piece for voice and organ would not be called a motet in Baroque music. I'll put them there as motets now. We had I, II, III for Bach cantatas also, until we decided to take the catalogue numbers to differentiate. - I am not sure about the chronological order because someone not knowing would have problems to add one, but not with alphabet. We could add years, at least to those with several entries, making the sort more obvious. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I will add the dates, so that it will be obvious that it is ordered in chronological order. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 07:39, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. People will now understand, e.g., why the Symphony in D minor "0" is placed after Symphony No. 1. While doing so, I have moved Afferentur regi (2nd motet composed after Sechter's tuition) after Ave Maria (1861) (1st motet composed after Sechter's tuition). --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 08:25, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, helpful! What do you think of writing Motets (Bruckner), placing them in context to his life and other works? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I could indeed draft something on it. The motets could be placed in the 4 periods of Bruckner's life: youth (till 1845), St-Florian (1845-1856), Linz (after Sechter's tuition, 1861-1872) and Vienna (1873-1896), and so in the context of his "greater" works (Masses, Symphonies). What about the two Aequali WAB 114 and 149 (also placed by the MWV as "smaller religious works")? --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 07:46, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Gerda,
Before drafting the new page Motets (Bruckner) I have two question for you:
  • Do I include the two Aequali? They are stricto sensu not "motets", but they were composed as a kind of absoute for Bruckner's aunt Rosalia Mayrhofer
  • I am not intended to consider the 2nd version of the 5 Tantum ergo (WAB 41 & 42), Pange lingua WAB 31 and Iam lucis orto sidere (WAB 18) as separate item (i.e., new motets), but to include it in the short summary I am intended to put with each motet. OK so?
Please let me know. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 14:44, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am traveling, have little time, please just do what you think is good, anybody can improve it, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
FYI: In the meantime the periods "Youth", "Windhaag and Kronstorf" and "Sankt Florian" are already completed. When the periods "Linz" and "Vienna" will also be completed, I will upload it into page Motets (Bruckner). --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 14:44, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tomorrow and the days after I will complete the discography of the motets, for which a page is already created. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 20:22, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Very helpful to have the position of the motets in the context of his development and the other compositions. Try to link only once, and have translations to titles without an article. Should we try to get Tantum Ergo moved to Tantum ergo? (And the others.) - Never heard of Passion Sunday and absoute, learning ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried to get "Tantum Ergo" moved to "Tantum ergo". I could not, because apparently only an administrator is allowed to do it. I will add a translation of the "orphan" names. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 08:00, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hint

See edit summary of [3] --Francis Schonken (talk) 21:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Who is going to find that? See for example the other other case, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Description is back at BWV 243a. All the "Bärenreiter D-dur score" references have been removed though (wasn't even clear which of the many publications of the score by Bärenreiter the page numbers referred to). I left two publicly available D-dur sources listed in the BWV 243a article (Autograph, and Schering 1924). Plus the Novello 2000 and Dürr 1955 info, applying to both the D major and the Eb major versions. I suppose these should suffice for giving references for all what is different between the two versions in the description. See first two sentences of the BWV 243a#1 description of how this could work. There's an OR template up, until all this has been sorted out in the description.
Re. D major infobox. Why not? There's no discussion at Talk:Magnificat in D major, BWV 243, and I couldn't find anything in the edit history of the article showing anyone opposed an infobox. Anyhow, the description content is now transcluded in the BWV 243 article, so (not to spite you or whatever, just a practical solution) when the description is improved in 243a, the improved movement content automatically also appears in 243. Keep this in mind though when editing the 243a description of the communal 12 movements: if it doesn't apply to both versions either 243 or 243a needs to be mentioned explicitly, + appropriate references to sources listed in both articles. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:50, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the official way to address the "acknowledgement of authorship" issue *is* "split" templates on the talk pages. They are put there, and stay there after the split has been resolved. See Wikipedia:Splitting#How to properly split an article, step 8.

I think to say that the information was "split" from D to E-flat (that's what I read) is misleading, but I stop caring about it, going to write CPE's, finally. Thank you for the question on the Magnificat in D! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lieber, Gerda, I left some messages for you on Talk:St John Passion structure/GA1 that I would like your comments on. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 20:09, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for looking at the spring article I almost forgot. I have no time now nor the next days, but hope to get to it during the week. In the recent Magnificat, it helped to cite the score. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:10, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jonas, we have a misunderstanding. You gave me seven days, I said (during in trip) that I had no time for the next few DAYS. I have no idea why you understood WEEKS. Please give me those seven days before failing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:28, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake. I will give you the seven days. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 23:10, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's done, I have placed it on hold. Best of luck freund. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 23:12, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Freund, but what now that you retired? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:31, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Martin Lücker

Nice! Funny but I know who he is and am familiar with him for some reason. Started Martin Stephani, can you link with German wiki and proof/expand? Das wäre wunderbar, danke!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:12, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever happened to the old Gerda? The old Gerda would have expanded it and given me three new red links :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:09, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See above, vacation ;) - Before I can expand that I have to reference the St John Passion structure and the D major Magnificat, get Locus iste to GA standard (I nominated on our Kirchweih date before it was ready, then it was fully protected). I have a new article in mind for tomorrow but will not supply a red link, to not have the Locus iste struggle again ;) - If you want to fill red links, there are enough for a while in the Bach cantatas, singers but also hymn writers, hymns and places. You could also translate more for Katharinenkirche, Oppenheim, where we sang Locus iste on Saturday, and Bruckner's E minor Mass will be performed by the Kammerchor Stuttgart (not for me, more vacation, for most of October), --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:57, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
ps: + updating the cantatas for next Sunday, and see RIP on my user page, for Erhard Egidi, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to hear about Erhard Egidi :-(♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:48, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
