Italics for emphasis

Italics may be used sparingly to emphasize words in sentences; boldface is normally not used for this purpose. Generally, the more highlighting, the less effective it is.

March music

New month: today is the birthday of Chopin and Ricardo Kanji, see my stories of today and yesterday, with dream music by the first and Bach played by the other. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:47, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! - Thank you for updating and nominating Bernhard Vogel! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:14, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:29, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today Rossini's latest "sin", as the main page has - we'll sing in Idstein, double chorus works on 23 March 6pm --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I could have written five stories off the main page, and chose Sofia Gubaidulina. I find the TFA also interesting, and two DYK, and a birthday OTD. How about you? - Thank you for helping with the actor! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:59, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: an opera, 100 years old OTD, on Bach's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:13, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today, 300 years of Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1! We sang works for (mostly) double choir by Pachelbel, Johann Christoph Bach, Kuhnau/Bach, Gounod and Rheinberger! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:01, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today Jörg Streli, an architect to whom you can listen (in German, though) and the Jahrhundertring, nominated for GA (both hidden on the main page) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Two RD stories to say bye to March --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:11, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bernhard Vogel

Why did you do that just now? You left no explanation, either in the edit summary or on the Talk page, and what you reverted was a referenced fact. Avoid destructive edits, please. Kelisi (talk) 18:21, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit is redundant (see personal life and death) Grimes2 (talk) 18:23, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The European Destubathon

You are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:22, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kontrolle einer Übersetzung

Hallo Girmes2, ich bin es mal wieder nach langer Zeit. Gerade habe ich in dem Artikel Clarinet den Abschnit Range (Clarinet#Range) neu gefasst. Würdest du mal drüber schauen, ob das Englisch so in Ordnung ist? Vielen Dank! - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 16:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kann man so lassen. Überraschenderweise haben die tieferen Klarinetten einen größeren Tonumfang. Grimes2 (talk) 16:28, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ich habe nicht geschrieben "Überraschenderweise", sondern "Aus physikalischen Gründen" oder was meinst du? - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 21:21, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ich spreche da aus eigener Erfahrung. Habe selbst Bassklarinette gespielt. Vielleicht habe ich dabei die höheren Register nicht ausgenutzt. Grimes2 (talk) 22:00, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Auf einer Es-Klarinette kommst du - notiert - nicht höher als A6, auf einer Bassklarinette mühelos bis D7, evtl. auch E7, siehe auch die Website von Richard Haynes unter Clarinets. Dort sind von der As-Klarinette an die Ranges der meisten Klarinetten angegeben -->> https://richardehaynes.com/piccolo-clarinet-in-aflat - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 22:16, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nochmals: Übersetzung

Hallo Grimes2, für den Artikel Clarinet habe ich hier eine Erweiterung entworfen: User:Gisbert_K/Martin. Würdest du bitte auch diese Übersetzung prüfen und auch die Fehlerhinweise in den Fußnoten? Vielen Dank! - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 21:16, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Das ist noch viel Arbeit. Grimes2 (talk) 22:04, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Grimes2

Vielen Dank für deine Arbeit. Leider hat Nikkimaria den von mir in den Artikel Clarinet eingestelleten Text sofort wieder gelöscht, mit der Begründug zu detailiert und zu wenig Quellen. Ich habe dann deutliche Kürzungen vorgenommen und wieder eingestellt, mit dem Hinweis, die verbliebenen Ausführungen seien unbedingt notwendig für einen guten Artikel über die Klarinette. Und wieder löschte sie alles, jetzt nur noch mit dem Hinweis auf zu wenig Quellangaben. Daraufhin habe ich die Quellangaben erheblich erweitert und auch noch hier und da den Text ergänzt. Bevor ich diese Fassung erneut einstelle, bitte ich dich, sie noch einmal durchzusehen, damit N. sie nicht erneut streicht, mit der Begründung, es sei schlechtes Englisch. Bitte gib mir Bescheid, wenn du damit fertig bist. Vielen herzlichen Dank! - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 16:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Das ist einfach zu viel und hat schlechte Qualität. Wenige Sätze für jede Epoche müssen genug sein. Dann mit zuverlässigen Quellen versehen. Kurzum: Schreib den Abschnitt neu. Grimes2 (talk) 12:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ich habe den Text nochmals deutlich gekürzt, er dürfte nun etwa eine Seite einnehmen. Übersetzung neu mit ChatGPT (ohne Links und Fußnoten), jetzt hier: User:Gisbert_K/sandbox4. Sieh ihm dir bitte einmal an! - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 16:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ChatGPT liefert erstaunlich gute Resultate. @Gerda Arendt: Könnest Du noch mal drüber schauen. Grimes2 (talk) 19:28, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Too tired for the whole thing, - just read Baroque. General advice: make small changes, each with it's reference, - not the whole thing at once which will almost certainly be reverted again. - Specifically:

I'd begin with the introduction, then list the few occurrences.
No need to link the Rameau genre when the piece has an article, - probably we can even drop it.
The last sentence reads as if Bach, Vivaldi and Handel made the arrangements.
It might be a god idea to give the pieces years - to compare to the introduction. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:22, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt, I have now added sources and links to the intended article (and also revised the passage about the Barok). I would be extremely grateful if you would also take a look at the rest of the post. - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 14:50, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'll look again and further but not today, - I have 3 GA reviews in progress, a bio to write and to prepare the turn of the month, + choir rehearsal. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:03, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I took a brief look at Baroque, and see no changes in the prose. I am confused by links to two different sandboxes. Please decide which is the one we should look at, and make all changes there. Earlier versions can still be seen from the history. Please do something about the four points above, add inline citations to the prose, and perhaps shorten the header(s), - just Baroque would probably work just fine for the first paragraph. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:09, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, Gerda. The relevant text is here. It contains 39 sources, with almost every sentence supported by a reference. In the Baroque section, I added the year of composition for Rameau and reworded the last sentence. - Gisbert ツ (talk) Illustrate Wikipedia ! 15:35, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll look at that Martin sandbox. I don't see changes for the four points above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:38, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
