[edit] ¡Hola!

I award this Barnstar of High Culture for particularly fine contributions regarding Russian Opera.Rosa 10:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I just stumbled upon your great article concerning opera in Russia and I'm amazed that no one has given you an award for your work on it. Rosa 10:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ilka Palmay

Greetings. I hope all is well with you.

I don't know if you can help here. I put up an article on Ilka Palmay (1859 - 1945), a Hungarian soprano who sang mostly in Germany, I believe. She married a Hungarian Count. However, most of the information about her is in the Hungarian language, or in German, neither of which I speak, and the Google translator is terrible. I know there is more information online about her career, but I can't read it. Can you take a quick look? Thanks for any help. -- Ssilvers 19:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Fantastic job, Meladina. Can you translate the Bibliographical dates that you put on the talk page? I would like to add more date info to the article. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 18:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Excellent work, but I made a big mistake! What I meant was, could you translate the "Biographical" date information on the talk page. I am sorry!! -- Ssilvers 14:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Once again, thank you very much! I added some date information from the translation that you sent me, and I think the article is about as good as we can get it, unless a Hungarian speaker comes along, or unless someone has a copy of Palmay's book. Best regards! -- Ssilvers 15:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] War and Peace (Prokofiev)

Hi. I've spent a lot of time on the above and am now moving on to other things. Could you cast an eye over it in case I've got anything wrong (e.g. character names - e.g. should I use Anatol rather than Anatole?). And do you have any idea where I might get the missing names for the Principal Characters table? Or, indeed, first names or initials for those in the table that lack them? Grove doesn't have anything, and I've milked Kobbé, the Oxford Dictionary of Opera and the Internet for all they've got (at least I found the complete cast-list for the Florence performance!). All information and suggestions gratefully received. Best. --GuillaumeTell 22:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting your thoughts

Hello, since it would appear that you are a qualified expert in the field of music, I would request your thoughts on this mild debate I've been having with another user on the subject of Homophony. I was hoping that you could settle this little dispute. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 21:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kozlovsky as Yurodivy in Boris Godunov

Hi, I see that you have uploaded a great picture of Kozlovsky as the holy fool in Boris Godunov. I wonder where you found it? I see that they are requesting a source. 213.184.192.82 13:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potpourri references

Hi Nice work :)

I'm currently writing a thesis on music morphing and it's precedents in music history such as medley and potpourri. I noticed in your article on potpourri you mentioned the french publisher K ballard as being the first to use the term. However, I can't seem to find any other articles that make this reference, (or anything published by K ballard) - would it be possible for you to send me some more info on that reference, or publish it on the Wiki article?

Thanks very much, Rene Wooller

Hi, Rene, I borrowed this information from the Russian (Soviet) Musical Dictionary, this is why I wrote K. Ballard instead Christopher Ballard (in Russia both C and K we spell as K). I put the article from Groves into discussion area of Potpourri (music). Hope this will do some help for your work. Good luck! (meladina 15:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC))
