Hi Dri3s,

Brahms wrote three violin sonatas and two for cello; there have been arrangements going both ways, but the third of the violin sonatas (the one in D minor, the one played by Yo-Yo Ma) "lies" quite well for the cello). Here is a recording of it by Yo-Yo Ma: [1]. As far as I can tell, this is what Condoleeza and Yo-Yo actually played. Hope this helps! Antandrus (talk) 19:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome! I have to admit I've never heard the version for cello, but that CD looks interesting. I'm just guessing that C.R. already knew the piano part from having played it at one time with a violinist (since that sonata is so often performed), so it was easier for her to work up than one of the cello sonatas (which both have fiercely hard piano parts ... ) Antandrus (talk) 19:59, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Greetings again! To answer your last question, yes, I have a really bad one, but I don't want to give away my real identity here (doing anti-vandalism work has gotten me a number of death threats, for example). I could e-mail it to you if you want. Looks like you have chosen an excellent field of study: I do GIS for a living, and there's lots of interesting jobs available in geog/urban planning. Also, it's good to have another classical music editor here--there aren't many of us--so welcome to Wikipedia! Antandrus (talk) 15:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Could you translate something for me?

Hi, I've got a favor to ask. There is a article up for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stef de Bont). I found something on the net which may be relevant to the discussion, but it's in Dutch, which I can't read. Could you take a look at [2] and let us know if it asserts any significance to Stef de Bont as a person, which would justify a wikipedia article about him? If you're willing to do this, please leave your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stef de Bont. Thanks. --RoySmith 00:11, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VWN en WCN

Beste allemaal Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 13:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 14:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
