Thank you for all the references!! - happy new year! - inviting you to check out "my" story (fun listen today, full of surprises), music (and memory), and places (pictured by me: the latest uploads) any day! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:23, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Today you can watch the 2010 premiere of a violin sonata with the composer also the pianist. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Mozart music for today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:45, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

20 January is the 100th birthday of David Tudor (see my story) and the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen, BWV 13, if we go by date instead of occasion as he would have thought, so see my story for last Sunday, and celebrate ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:58, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing her to the main page! - I'm on vacation, so missed some interesting stories, such as about Jubilant Sykes. Still on: Richie Beirach, jazz pianist. Which of his music samples would you have chosen? - Can you perhaps help to references for Bernhard Waldenfels' publications? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:04, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Nevermind the last - the Vorlass in Freiburg should do. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:01, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

I ran into an edit conflict with you for Cornelis Witthoefft. Should I wait until you are done? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:29, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

I've no hope for the article. I give up. Grimes2 17:32, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

I'll see, having a soft spot for people working in Lied ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:34, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Tamás Vásáry today, who began his career with a Mozart concerto at age 8. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:10, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Could you help adding more references to György Kurtág, 100 on 19 Feb? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:23, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much, nothing open!! - Tōru Takemitsu has also referencing problems, in case you have time and interest, - see talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:09, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Kurtág! In 2004 I was there when he and his wife played for the Rheingau Musik Festival where he was the featured composer. They played as the 2019 DYK said, on an upright piano, - listen, the last piece was the same. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Today's main page features four biographies I helped to bring there, two women and two men, three opera singers (one pictured) and an actor, - a record for me, I believe ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:50, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Aribert Reimann's 90th birthday, with a hook mentioning his 80ths, the opera played by Oper Frankfurt after he died, see video, and I was there. - Ruta de los Volcanes is among the latest places. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:21, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Of the four topics I helped to bring to the main page, I'm most proud of a woman's work, so made it my story. As it happens, last year's story OTD was about the woman. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Grimes2, concerning your edit of Technische Universität Darmstadt today, I was wondering which specific part of WP:Linking (that you gave as justification for your edit) applies for not linking currencies for the budget in the infobox? Thanks in advance and best regards! Proof finder (talk) 19:17, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
