Formatting titles of literature and art


Use italics for the titles of works of literature and art, such as books, pamphlets, films (including short films), television series, music albums, and paintings. The titles of articles, chapters, songs, television episodes, and other short works are not italicized; instead, they're enclosed in double quotation marks.

Can I interest you in the art of Herbert Brandl? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:23, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The last three stories were Bach's Mass in B minor (because I heard it), and two women. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:09, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

today would be Harry Kupfer's 90th birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:18, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

pics of the feast of the Mass in B minor --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In that context: today's story short version: ten years ago we had a DYK about a soprano who sang in concerts with me in the choir, - longer: I found today a youtube of an aria she sang with us then, recorded the same year, - if you still have time: our performances were the weekend before the Iraq war ultimatum, and we sang Dona nobis pacem (and the drummer drummed!) as if they could hear us in Washington. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:07, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On top of my talk: birthday of a great violinist and Requiem for a great friend. We sang Paradisi gloria from the Stabat Mater in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

[edit]
Precious
Eight years!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:45, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story mentions four singers which I all heard, soprano (whose birthday would have been today) and tenor were soloists with my choir in Hannover, and alto and tenor (married, singers of NDR Chor) were the soloists in the Verdi Requiem of my choir in Idstein, in 2010. Enjoy listening to soprano in a Telemann aria, and also pics of a hike on a hot day above Lorch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:42, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wolfgang Kuhlmann is another LouisAlain article. I'm out today, perhaps you can already do your usual magic in referencing? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:58, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Check out my talk for an Independence day, or: the pic of Oksana Lyniv was taken on 24 August. There's listening and reading in today's story, and I like both. - I heard the Britten Cello Sonata yesterday and thought of you! - Next choral concert in Idstein Haydn Stabat Mater, 14 September, 5pm. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for helping with Rodion Shchedrin! - I guess we better move the works list to a different article at some point. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:11, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Grimes2 14:33, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, I'll do that now then. I'll leave it in the article commented out because some may remain and some go to the biography. I wish I had worked on this sooner, like 2019 ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:41, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I added ref Dixon which would source some recordings. Could you perhaps begin? Out for funeral. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Shchedrin's music is marvelous. I've heard Carmen Suite and Symphony No. 1 on YouTube. Grimes2 20:37, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Great! - I had trouble finding refs for the films (although they all have articles). There's a ref for The Height in an interview with Putin. Close to nominating. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominated. Sikorski: now we know where the Schott essay by Neef comes from. We shouldn't have the same twice. Change the publisher in Neef to Sikorski? It would explain why the last period is not covered (nor is it yet in the article). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:38, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is the Boosey & Hawkes essay. "In 2019, the Sikorski publishing group was united with Boosey & Hawkes in Berlin as a sister company under the Concord umbrella." Sikorski seems to be the early publisher for Shchedrin. No need for a change, the Sikorski source has also the early published works. Grimes2 07:48, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You are right about Boosey, sorry about bad memory (and not looking). I am not happy about presenting the same under two names, but have no time right now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:21, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help with my story today, about this composer and his ballerina wife, pictured as I saw them in 2009. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help with another giant's music: Canto General. Listen if you like it really big and emotional, with the composer as the conductor, in Chile, after years of suppression. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:05, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A soprano pictured on DYK, a soprano and a composer and a bassoonist on RD, and a composer with the pic of the day: a good day for classical music! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I enjoy a DYK that pictures a person together with achievements in art. - Could you perhaps help sourcing the books by Ruth Weiss? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:32, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As you will know, Arvo Pärt is 90 today. Did you know that it tool me some trouble to get him to the main page? Listen! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:48, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today is the birthday of the 16th Thomaskantor after Bach, remembered. - Great that you made it to our concert! Next singing as you will have read: 16 November Evensong. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:53, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My 100th biography to the Main page in 2025 is Siegmund Nimsgern. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:03, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Rutter 80 today! I sang his major choral works with four choirs, and many of his uplifting anthems, 13 DYK? I watched him explain his Magnificat in person in 1998, and now see it on Youtube: he wore the same outfit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:04, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about the principal violin of the Concentus Musicus; she would have been 95 OTD. I felt connected when the second oboist of our recent concert said that he built an English horn for his performance of the same work with the Concentus Musicus. - Concert weekend pictured in "places". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:20, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
