Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page has). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123, my story today 300 years after the first performance, is up for GAN. Dada Masilo will be my story tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:05, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. You will like to watch Masilo talk and dance, if you haven't. Also the composer and his bells ;) - We found an article for IWDm I think, - you could comment on WP:TFAR. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today a violinist from Turkey, Ayla Erduran, whom you can watch playing Schubert chamber music - I didn't make the cookies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:38, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today, between many who just died, Tobias Kratzer on his 45th birthday who was good for an unusual DYK mentioning a Verdi opera in 2018, - you can see his work in the trailer of another one that I saw, and my talk page has a third (but by a different director). 2025 pics, finally. A Montanabw article is TFA today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:18, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today Claire van Kampen and a hidden cat ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

February music

story · music · places

On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:55, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story torday is about an actor who played in almost every German TV series and in internal cinema. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:59, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

today: a German-born Spanish art collector, - the video in her honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:57, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find today's birthday child particularly inspiring, by enthusiasm and determination. That was - believe it or not - a pictured DYK in 2021, without the last line though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about Edith Mathis, who portrayed young women by Mozart. The video of a 1993 interview has videos of her performances. - I saw my brother on stage, - see places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:52, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
