Vogl, Britannica

Hi Antandrus--

Nice Vogl article! Hoping it's true, I added in the Fidelio bit. Perhaps Schubert was buying up all the Vogl tickets he could afford...

I also enjoyed your comments about the 1911 edition, particularly the bits about chewing gum and Tovey scribbling frantically on the back of an envelope. So hopefully we feel mutually encouraged to edit this stuff liberally.

Hi Antandrius, and thanks for the note. I've had an enforced break from Wikipedia for a bit, but hope to return to regular editing in a few days. I expect I'll look at some music articles as part of that - must admit, when I stuck my head in here today I looked at a lot of arbitration stuff, which depressed me a bit; but then I stumbled across a few new music articles which cheered me up a bit :) Great to see you and Opus are still around - hope to join you soon. --Camembert

Etcetera

Hello Antandrus. Wasn't sure whether this page is open to all comers to make changes or not, so thought I'd be discrete and just mention one spelling error (virtuoso, not virtuouso). I've always been fascinated by Alkan, and wonder if you can verify either way the story about the bookshelf and the Talmud. I recently heard/read somewhere that this is apocryphal. Cheers from down under JackofOz 21:44, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Admin vote

Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. It means a great deal to me.

Also - that vista image on your user page is beautiful! I'm assuming you took that?

Thanks again, ClockworkTroll 06:04, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You're welcome! And thanks for the compliment on the photo (it's a pretty view from up there, after a stiff climb). I've been noticing your work for a while and I think it's superb--keep it up! Best wishes and happy editing, Antandrus 06:07, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • I'm flattered, thank you! Do you mind if I ask which work you've noticed? I always like to know what the highest profile edits are, so I can put some emphasis on them. ClockworkTroll 06:12, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Certainly: what I really like is your interactions with other users, especially welcoming newcomers; your attention to VfD, which is a slum and avoided by many (including me sometimes... but I think it is a bit of a duty for us to labor in such unsavory locales from time to time); and also I just like your positive attitude. It's one of my favorite soapboxes too that people here don't spend enough time noticing the good work of others. Hope that answers your question!  :-) Happy editing, Antandrus 06:22, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • You're very kind, thank you. Actually, I kind of enjoy slumming in VfD from time to time. It keeps my "head in the game" so to speak. ClockworkTroll 06:27, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Ravenscroft

Where's Ravenscroft's manuscript located? As you might imagine, a guy who has scanned all of Ravenscroft's printed works would be interested in his unprinted ones, too. Greg Lindahl 23:28, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC) [user/timestamp added by Antandrus]

Hi Greg, I answered you on your talk page. Hope it helps! Antandrus 00:44, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for welcoming me to Wikipedia, my original user ID was 511. Unfortunately they've managed to break their user ID mechanism several times, so I have a couple of IDs. Anyway, thanks for the info, I didn't recall seeing it in the New Grove article when I looked at it a decade ago, and didn't make a copy... hey, Stanford has a copy of a thesis which contains a photocopy!

Heather

Thank you for that one... which is so darn obvious that I feel like an idiot for not having come up with it myself. :) func(talk) 05:52, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)


Thanks for the helpful back and forth regarding Brahms and his era!! (sorry for not starting a new section but seemed that one line was not, a '+'-for starting an edit section-for. ?!? :) ) Schissel 04:18, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thank you

    • Another thank you from yours truly for the nice note on my home page. Best, Lucky 6.9 22:53, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
