flowering Bruckner
Thank you for, passionate lover of flowers shown in excellent pictures, for the quality of your continuous care (passio continuo) for articles on the works by
Anton Bruckner, full of music, - you are an
awesome Wikipedian!
Please check out "Happy" once more, for
a smile, and sharing (a Nobel Peace Prize), and resolutions. I wanted that for 1 January, but then wasn't sad about having our music pictured instead. Not too late for resolutions, New Year or not. DYK that he probably kept me on Wikipedia, back in 2012? By the line (which brought him to my attention, and earned the first precious in br'erly style) that I added to my editnotice, in fond memory? --

You can check out "Happy" once more for more.
Psalm 75 on the Main page, and what Bach made of it, and made it my motto for 2019 ;) - Thank you for more Bruckner nd flowers, small and beautiful! --

Dear
Gerda, I will have a look on it, but I am not sure whether I can say much more. I have no detailed documentation on the endemic flora of the Canary Islands. Furthermore, each Canary Island has his local endemic plants. I was years ago with Ivo Pauwels in Tenerife, but I did not yet photograph plants at that time. Some years later, we went to La Palma; I have then photographed a few endemic plants, some of which remain still unidentified... Greetings, --

Os justi (Bruckner)
In my edit summary, I referred of course to the English spelling typo "manuscrits" (which I corrected to "manuscripts" by adding the "p", as you can see). Not to any conjecture over the number of "manuscripts" there might be, singular or plural. Best wishes.

Dear
Gerda, thanks for the flowers. It is one on first first flowering plants in humid forests. I have added the category
Oxalis acetosella in Germany.
About Bruckner: The complete Alte Gesamtausgabe (Haas edition) is now available on IMSLP, as well as the volumes of the Neue Gesamtausgabe (Nowak edition), which were edited before 1993. About the vocal works, the scores of the Masses, Requiem, Te Deum, Psalm 150 and the smaller religious works (early masses & motets) are now available.
I have updated a few Wikipedia pages, mainly that on the
Second Symphony, following fruitful discussions with
Will Carragan. Last month, there was the premiere of the complete 1876 version of the Third Symphony (as reconstructed by Will). In this version, most of the Wagner quotes are removed, but the remaining of the symphony is preserved. As you know, in the next version, there are already severe cuts, which deface the work, mainly the adagio, but also the finale. The 1876 version is thus perhaps the best version of the symphony. I have updated the concerned
Wikipedia page accordingly.
Lat year there were premieres of the orchestration of Beethoven's Sonate pathétique, and of 13 piano pieces from the
Kitzler Studienbuch. I just added the YouTube links of premieres of two scherzos for string quartet (F major & G minor) from the Kitzler Studienbuch. Best greetings, --

Brahms motets, - can you please correct IMSLP?
[1], at the bottom, Warum...? - There should be no tempo marking in the head line, the first movement shoud be "Langsam und ausdrucksvoll" (missing a space), and the second movements should be "Wenig bewegter" (not "Weniger ..."). --

Thank you! Perhaps you have time to look at musical articles, or even listen to some music. The best - I think - is under St John Passion, and if you don't have time for the whole thing the excerpt, or the "making", will give an impression. Possibly the only Bach Passion this Good Friday, at the composer's grave. He was buried in 1750, and his music is soooo alive! --

I just made a round of the Bruckner symphonies, because the keys are not really part of their titles - and could be linked when not. I stumbled about "To the beloved God" for "Dem lieben Gott", and confess that to this day, I believed it's rather the loving God. ?? I also heard "dear God". --

Gerda Arendt: I was not the original writer of this Wikipedia page and thus also not of the wording "To the beloved God". If, as you suggest, you think that there should be a better translation of "Dem lieben Gott", do not hesitate to change it. Best regards, --

June continued ... last year's flowers match the image on

Thank you so much, very sweet, and that wasn't even "mine" but given ;) - There are many more flowers if you scroll up from the Munich Botanical Garden (or just check my contribs on the commons), one just saying "Orange flowers" in a pic title, - could you perhaps also help with those. --

Thank you so much, dear Reginald, and what would you need. I'd go for
Prunus cerasifera, but Central Europe is not mentioned in the lead. "first to flower" matches exactly. They grow a lot where I live, not cultivated. --

These flowers are not Ipheion, but 'Große Sternhyazinthen', Scilla forbesii (Syn. Chionodoxa forbesii). I have renamed the file and changed the category accordingly.
Thank you for your consistent help with Bruckner! I have
pics from vacation days to offer. - Feel free to check for better names and categories, - I often use German plant names when I'm unsure which common English name would be better known. And I'm completely helpless for alpine flowers. --

Thank you for your consistent Bruckner improvement. I was envied for having listened to his Seventh, DYK? The rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and this year was full of music that day,
Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places
pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto (my brother played in the orchestra), and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. --
