Walworth Castle

[edit]

Hello - I see you are the main contributor to the Walworth Castle article. I came to it by a very round-a-bout route and made a minor correction. Vivian and Edmund Harrison Aylmer are actually buried at St Philip's Church, Caerdeon in North Wales, and not at Caerleon in South Wales. This, unusable, non-RS source, confirms, [1]. My question is why? and I was hoping you might know. I think they both died in the North East, their parents were buried at Abergele after their deaths there in the Abergele rail disaster, and I can find no connection with Caerdeon. Any information you may have would be appreciated. KJP1 (talk) 10:30, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry; I have no idea why they were buried there. However, if they had children, then their offspring would have been influential regarding the funeral, burial etc. A son or daughter who was close to their parents may well want the parents buried within easy reach of their present home, so that they may visit the grave regularly. I have seen that happen a lot, including in my own family. Storye book (talk) 10:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem at all, and thanks for the prompt response. I shall continue to search. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 10:56, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marianne Preger-Simon, Michael Ruetz? - on a train -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marianne Preger-Simon done. However it is a tiny thumbnail, which is pixellated - it was the best that I could find. I'm not sure whether she is in this pic, or which one is her. If you can identify her in this pic, I can crop out her pic, and resize it for the article. That picture apparently comes from this page, according to the search engine. Storye book (talk) 16:18, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Michael Ruetz done. Storye book (talk) 16:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - Alois Ickstadt. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I can't find any evidence of the death of Alois Ickstadt. Am I missing something? Storye book (talk) 10:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No sorry, I missed my own happy surprise. - Fritz Lehmann? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fritz Lehmann done. Really nice portrait, this time. Storye book (talk) 11:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, thank you! - Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. - Could we have a portrait of the composer, instead of a bust? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:01, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Huang Zhun (composer)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:25, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you prefer the Westernised portrait or Chinese style portrait? Do you want just face, or head and shoulders, or body included? (I can crop the pictures). We don't usually get much choice, so we are lucky this time. There are also pictures of her when she was middle-aged or old, but they are not so pretty. Storye book (talk) 10:02, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the first sentence, I referred to Karl Amadeus Hartmann. The Chinese composer: the Western portrait gives me a 403 error, I like the other, and I trust your judgement! Don't miss to listen to today's piece. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Huang Zhun done. I agree, the Chinese picture is better, and more interesting. Storye book (talk) 16:29, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding Hartmann: I do not know enough about German copyright law and WP copyright tags to upload German images to commons, if the pictures are less than 95 years old. We cannot use a non-free ID picture, because we already have a free picture of the marble bust. There is a picture here which might be usable on Commons, because (according to Hartman's apparent age of 45 years) it was taken over 70 years ago, and the author is unknown. But I cannot see a German copyright tag here that would fit. If you can find a German copyright expert who can find me the right public domain tag, I can upload the picture to Commons for you. At the moment I don't want to take the risk without advice. Storye book (talk) 16:59, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let it be ;) - Friedrich Dörr? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Friedrich Dörr done. Another nice picture, I think. Storye book (talk) 10:34, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! - On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Hertel? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hertel done. Storye book (talk) 11:24, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. I just listened. The heckelphone is not as good as the bass shawm that I played in a medieval chamber music group in the 80s. The heckelphone blends in, but the shawm stands out. A lot. The trouble with the shawm is that you need big lungs for it. I am not big, and it needed a lot of diaphragm work on my part. It did not help that for some of the time I was pregnant, and I gave up the shawm for the crumhorn at that time. Storye book (talk) 09:22, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antonio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:09, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the Beethoven link. So pretty. Meneses was a great loss to all of us. Storye book (talk) 09:19, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
