I'm going to log out and take a break for a few months. I have little time available for WP right now, and I'm finding that the time I do have is increasingly frustrating and does not spark joy; I'm logging in out of habit, rather than because I want to. I won't write a screed about why, at least not now. Some of this is probably my fault; real-world stress bleeding into on-wiki stress. But it's also due to the way this project seems to be evolving, and the realization that I can't really try to do anything about it when I have so little time to contribute. I'll leave WP email on, but email notifications are going to be turned off. See you on the other side. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:39, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some pics around the concert with the basses, and good luck finding a performance ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the flowers, Gerda. Having kind of a shitty day (nothing major, just the usual dozen minor annoyances that I seem incapable of handling gracefully), and seeing a new May music section legit helped. Floquenbeam (talk) 17:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! - On the bicentenary of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, I remember our recent uplifting choral concert in pictures, on my user page and in my concerts (leading to the two at the church's article). The closest was in the paper. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today is the Feast of the Ascension for which Bach composed his oratorio, - perhaps watch a bit how the closing movement was performed in Bach's church. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Magdalena Hinterdobler is on the Main page today, together with an opera that reviewers deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. - Also on the Main page: a TFA by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:27, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, why did you revert me and not provide an explanation? I don't think people need to know that yamla needs to go shower... Ssendo (talk) 00:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
