Ursula Zollenkopf

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that Ursula Zollenkopf, a contralto of the NWDR Chor, performed also solo parts in the concert premiere of Schoenberg's unfinished opera Moses and Aron after his death?

• Reviewed: Wetar ground dove

• A nice article on a relatively unknown, important singer. Article is new enough (31 Mar), long enough (+5K), is NPOV, solid citations inline. Hook is interesting enough, supported in ref. Copyvio is fine [1], even by comparison to German refs. The article needed minor copyedit so it could be better understood by novices - this was done. Suggest similar updates to hook:

• ALT1 ... that Ursula Zollenkopf, a contralto of the NWDR Chor, also performed in the concert première of Schoenberg's unfinished opera Moses and Aron after the composer's death?

Otherwise good to go! Ultracobalt (talk) 06:19, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the review, but ALT1 doesn't say she also sang solo, + the "also" makes no sense because the choir performed in the premiere (no need for a French term for a German event). All choir members are trained solo singers, but she got two solo parts in that performance: "Eine Kranke" (a sick woman) and one of the solo voices from the burning bush, the latter a lot of detail in her short article, but is in the opera article. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. As we are approaching Easter:

ALT2: ... that Ursula Zollenkopf, a contralto of the NWDR Chor, performed solo and choral parts in a posthumous Schoenberg opera premiere and in an Easter cantata by Bach? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:01, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

• even better :) Ultracobalt (talk) 20:18, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. Best for Easter then, 16 April --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:57, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
