Question

edit

I'm so glad to see a professional pianist here. I've played piano for ten years...stuff like Fur Elise, some Debussy (Engulfed Cathedral)...violin is really my forte, but I'm dying to play a concerto. For violin, as I'm sure you know, there are five major concertos: Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahams, and Sibelius. My question is: can you PLEASE tell me what is the first concerto you would recommend a pianist playing? Any general direction would be terrific, since I'm not taking lessons currently. Thank you so much, in advance.--ViolinGirl 20:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Trisdee! Regarding your message on ViolinGirl's talk page: When it comes to user pages, there's no such thing as "vanity". :) Add anything you want on it, as it's not in the article namespace. Hope this helps, and happy editing! See you around, Sango123 (talk) 21:01, 26 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Trisdee, thank you SO MUCH for your advice. I cannot tell you how...(can I use the word, "precious"?) it is to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward very much to trying the Mozart. I agree, baroque is BEAUTIFUL...Bach is always on my list (in violin), but my main piece in violin right now is Mozart's Fourth violin Concerto, so it will be good to have a corresponding composer for both. I also greatly appreciate the fact that you got back to me so quickly. What more can I say, than thank you? May I come to you if I have more questions, such as ornamentation in Bach's Goldberg Variations?
Regarding your userpage...RELAX! It's fine, it's fine...don't ever worry about vanity pages. As Sango123 said...your userpage is your userpage, and you can do practically anything you want to with it. Enjoy!
Again...I'm sorry for being so repetitive, but I honestly can't thank you enough. Grazie! Ciao!--ViolinGirl 22:37, 26 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
PS Is the harpsichord a lot different to play from the piano?
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I really enjoy knowing I can talk to you and I can trust the advice you give me. I look forward to improving my skills on the piano on the side (while violin is my main instrument).
I had been trying to learn the Goldberg Variations, but didn't want to learn them wrong, so I was waiting for someone (like you!) to provide some guidance while I learned them. I see you have put the Aria from the Variations...I'll listen to it as soon as I get a chance. What do you think of Glenn Gould's interpretation?
Thanks for explaining about the harpsichord. I understand what you mean about it being different…it’s kind of like when piano students think they can get by with an electric keyboard...*shudder* A harpsichord is plucked with quills, right? How does “striking” a key make that work? Also, when you hold down a key on the harpsichord, what is different from when you don’t hold it down…I’m guessing maybe some felt or something stops the string when you lift your finger off the key, as in piano? I’m sorry to be asking so many questions…if I get on your nerves, don’t think about replying…I understand. I’m just so ignorant about some of these things, and I’d really like to learn more.
Well, here’s something to whet your appetite…on Thursday night, I was able to go hear Paavali Jumppanen playing Mozart’s Concerto in C Major, K. 415, and Chopin’s Sonata in B minor, Op. 58. As an encore he played Sibelius’s Impromptu in D flat major, and it was all so beautiful. Have you heard of/heard him play?
Ok, well, I guarantee I‘ll have more questions, but that’s it for now…thanks so much! Ciao!--ViolinGirl 12:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks!

Wow, thanks! I didn't expect that at all! :) I am glad that you find my work worthwhile, and even enough to recognize me for it. It is with gratitude that I accept your barnstar gift. Hopefully we will work together to improve Wikipedia for a while to come. :) -Sesquialtera II 22:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

List of compositions by Dieterich Buxtehude

edit

Thanks for the compliments. I was thinking about a category for Buxtehude's compositions, to place the list and individual articles into, but I wasn't sure if anyone was willing to make articles for individual works. I'm glad someone is willing :) Jashiin 20:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ok, just to let you know: I went ahead and created a category called "Compositions by Dieterich Buxtehude" (for some reason I can't link to it here, just check the list or the Membra Jesu Nostri article, I've added the category to both). Feel free to add articles to it :) Jashiin 15:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Düben

edit

The Düben family is usually seen as an important part of Swedish music history, but it's not as if Gustav was yet Swedish in some ethnic sense anyway (which would mostly be an anachronism when dealing with the 17th century). BTW, are you familiar with the Düben collection?

Anyway, it seems that my correction of his birthyear may have been mistaken. Svenskt biografiskt lexikon, a standard reference work for Swedish biography, gives his birthyear as 1624, but the D volume is rather dated; the more up-to-date encyclopedia Nationalencyklopedin has 1628.

Thank you!!

Wow, thank you very much for the barnstar! Its an incredible coincidence, too, since another great thing happened to me today; I've passed my final university exams! I just logged in and was going to remove the "Busy" sign (which I put there because of the exams) and start editing today when I saw your message.. so its a triple coincidence of a sort :)

About Johann Pachelbel, I'm very happy to know you like the examples, it took me a hell lot of time to make them :) I was thinking of adding 2-4 more but thought the article was becoming too detailed. Should I make a few more images or not, what do you think? Jashiin 18:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey, no problem about taking your time in replying. I'm just grateful that you can help me occasionally.

I had a question about the Aria...I can't remember which measure it's in (don't have the music in front of me), but you know the three-note chord in the right hand somewhere in the middle of the music? Glenn Gould (the only other recording I've heard) rolls the chord from the top...is it just personal preference?

I'll take a look at your article (here on the wiki). Thanks for pointing me to it! As for Paavali Jumppanen...here's a link for you. :)

And, I got your e-mail. Sorry for the delay in my reply...I'm sort of on a WikiLeave right now, because of violin and school. So, if there's a wait...now you'll know why! :) Ciao!--ViolinGirl 20:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for changing the audio file at Thaksin's page. My voice's kind of awful ^_^

I'm wondering if you can add one more file at Taksin the Great. Many people always ask what the difference between these names. Thanks. --Manop - TH 22:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Khun Manop, thanks a lot for your note, and please know that I didn't mean to be offensive in any way when I criticised your enunciation!! Really, I only replaced it because for some reason the first syllable was absent from the file. And thanks also for pointing out Taksin the Great — I will do as you asked. I'm not extremely proud of my voice either, though I tried my best to sound acedemic! Cheers, Trisdee 02:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Esperanza!

edit
 

Welcome, Trisdee, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee , KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The elections have ended.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks! - File:Ottawa flag.png     nathanrdotcom (TCW) 21:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

edit
Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience:
"No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!
  1. Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before.
  2. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log.
  3. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time.
  4. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified.
  5. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community.
  6. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially.
  7. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on.
  8. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen.
Signed...

na Patalung

edit

Sawadee krap. Funny I haven't noticed you as an active Thai editor yet, even though I usually monitor (and also work on) the articles on Thailand a lot. When I came across Trisdee na Patalung by accident, I noticed that it is you, and you are from the "na Patalung" family. I am very interested in Thai history, and thus came across several of the "na"-families already ("na Ranong", "na Nakhon" and "na Songkhla"), but haven't yet read anything about the na Phatthalung yet. Were there any notable historical persons in your family (probably the provincial governors of Phatthalung Province), which you could find sources about? Sadly I don't speak Thai yet, so I am limited to english resources, which are often quite limited. And that it is possible collect knowledge on such normally obscure topics like minor historical persons of Thailand is IMHO a big advantage of Wikipedia. andy 11:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Esperanza Newsletter #2

edit
The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date:
"Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Information
Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!
  1. The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details.
  2. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page.
  3. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly.
A plea from the editor...
The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there.

Passing through

edit

Sawasdee krup Trisdee, I discovered your most impressive homepage when I looked at the article-history for the Buxtehude article and noticed a Thai name there. I'm Australian but I visit Thailand frequently and am very fond of the country and people. The reason I was at the Buxtehude article was that someone recommended him to me (I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of him), so I bought the first DVD of his I saw, Membra Jesu Nostri, and am now a confirmed fan. To find a Thai who is also a baroque musician and scholar is an interesting overlap of some of my areas of interest, so I thought I would say hello. I have been editing on some Thai subjects recently so we may come across each other again. I will next be in Bkk in July. Adam 06:12, 5 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

edit
The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
  1. Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
  2. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
  3. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct.
  4. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
  5. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.
Signed...

A short Esperanzial update

edit

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

Hi - are you the owner of the copyright of this picture? did you take it yourself? Off2riorob (talk) 20:53, 20 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

FYI: Used your media file

edit

This is a courtesy note. One of your media files is featured in a new commercial eBook in Apple’s iBooks store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/dr.-kemps-kids-love-bugs/id497852225?mt=11

I’ve contributed images to Wikipedia for over seven years now (including several POTD and Featured Images) and I designed the WikiSpecies logo. I respect your work here and the CC-BY-SA license we all labor under.

I know commercializing Wikipedia work is tricky and so I’ve taken great pains to follow your CC-BY-SA license requirements. I also plan to donate 10% of my proceeds to the Wikimedia Foundation directly. This is the very first self-published e-book created with Apple’s new tools and sold in the store.

I’ve given your audio file a credit line in the “Image and Video Credits” section starting at page 24 as required here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License

This compilation features many of the finest Wikipedia media files in their exact form and not as derivative works. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verbatim_copying_under_the_GFDL#Making_verbatim_copies_of_images

If I did alter your work -- such as cutting out an insect part or adding a video sound track -- I shared a Share Alike version of the new media in a DRM-free format and listed the web address in the credits section.

Thank you very much for uploading your work to Wikipedia and releasing it for the world to use in enriching educational formats.

In six months the book has earned $293 and so I made a donation this morning to Wikipedia Foundation for $29.30. The book is now a featured selection in iTunes > Books > Textbooks > Science & Nature. Thanks again! jk (talk) 13:36, 20 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Bach with chocolate

Thank you for quality articles such as Membra Jesu Nostri and Piano Concerto No. 12 (Mozart), for media files playing music and showing pronunciation of Thai names, for "I love to sip on hot chocolate while listening to Bach cantatas — especially with friends", - Tris, professional player and composer, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
