[edit] François Roberday

Hello! First of all, thank you for all the wonderful work you've been doing on French Wikipedia and here, I really really appreciate it. I translated several articles you created, mostly for French baroque organists, and I'm very glad to see you're back (I think you were inactive for some time..?).

About this particular article, I tried translating François Roberday once from the French version but I couldn't get what beau-frère meant, no dictionary I have could explain it. Are you sure its brother-in-law? If not, could you explain the term to me so that I could make a proper translation? Jashiin 12:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, brother-in-law is the correct way to say this. I've edited the article accordingly. Thanks! :) Jashiin 14:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Costeley

Hi Gérard; it's good to see you editing on en: again!

My source on Costeley's birthplace was the New Grove, the online version (www.grovemusic.com). The most recent source they list, from which the place might be derived, is probably:

I. Godt: Guillaume Costeley: Life and Works (diss., New York U., 1970)

If there is a source in French that gives a different birthplace, please let me know! Grove is wrong sometimes. Take care and happy editing! Antandrus (talk) 23:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New pages

Of course, I'll get to work right now! By the way, I got my hands on some of Roberday's music yesterday (unfortunately, in sheet music form only) and its some of the most beautiful organ music I've ever heard. Thank you for creating the article on him - there's virtually NO information about his life or works in the Internet, I would never know if if weren't for you.

I was wondering if you were willing to translate the large organ composers lists pages like [1] or [2] (the text of which could go to the already existing French baroque organists) sometime? I tried translating them myself some time ago, but it turned out that my French skills aren't good enough. Jashiin 19:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Great! I'll be waiting for your translations :) Make sure you put the texts to French baroque organists and German organ schools, to avoid confusion. Jashiin 20:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Thanks for your offer! That would be great; I have not studied the French Wikipedia much, so I'm not sure exactly what is there. I'm working on German composers at the moment, but I am moving soon to French Romantic, probably starting with Boëly and making progress towards Duruflé and others. Then, your assistance would be greatly appreciated :) Of course, any contributions are welcome. —Sesquialtera II (talk) 02:55, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jean-Adam Guilain

I've just edited your excellent little entry to Jean-Adam Guilain, mainly for English usage. You might want to change the note about this entry on your user page. Amitiés —TBHecht

[edit] Pierre Février

Hello again, I fixed the article and added the list from the French Wikipedia. I have a question though, you mention a "Jacobins' church" - I thought fr:Club des Jacobins was a political movement, so I didn't quite understand this, is there a religious movement with the same name? Jashiin 18:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

And another question, about Claude-Bénigne Balbastre - who supported Balbastre when he moved to Paris, Claude Rameau or Jean-Philippe Rameau? I couldn't figure it out, just wrote "Rameau" for now. Jashiin 19:15, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Février, Balbastre and c°

Okay, thanks for clearing this up. I just did some minor work on Célestin Harst, too. Jashiin 18:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcom here

[edit] Ruckers

Salut Gérard; Le W-E prochain je vais ratter l'occasion de visiter le Ruckers du musée à Colmar avec un facteur de clavecins. J'ai malheureusement donné l'accord pour accompagner des amis dans des chansons francaises selon un concert (cross over). Dommage. Est ce que tu serais intéressé par quelques photos détail de l'instrument ? Un ami les prendra a ma place. En plus il vient de m'envoyer une photo d'un orgue du 15ie siècle à Sion en Valais. Fait moi savoir si cela t'intéresse. amitiés musicales -- Frinck51 09:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

J'ai maintenant une vue générale de l'instrument 400 Kb et 4 MB. J'espère d'en avoir plus les prochains jours. Si tu as encore l'adresse de mon site privé, j'y peux placer la (les) photo. Si non suggère un autre chemin. amitiés musicales -- frinck 09:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Schéma de clavecins

Salut,

L'atelier graphique francophone a amélioré les schémas de Ratigan que tu as traduit, ils sont maintenant disponibles en vectoriels sur commons : commons:Category:Harpsichord. Nojhan 07:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Je suis désolé que tu ne participe plus à fr, j'espère que tu reviendras un jour. On tombe tous sur des fâcheux, il ne faut pas les laisser nous démoraliser trop longtemps :-)

Sinon, je suis preneur de corrections sur les schémas « améliorés », si jamais j'y ai introduit des erreurs. N'hésites pas à me les indiquer. Nojhan 20:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
