February music

The February image shows small flowers in a bright colour intensified by sunlight, seen from above, close together with little green between. On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:13, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: Wonderful cantata, as always! The first ,second, and fourth movements were all amazing in their own way. Sorry, but we can't use that channel for copyright reasons though; see my edit summary at the article and my edit to your stories page (I hope the latter was OK); the recording I found was a bit faster than yours, but it still sounds very good to my ears. And no score, sorry. I see you mentioned Schubert's recent birth anniversary, which I wasn't aware of, on your talk page. Next month I'll be in Adelaide for a Schubert concert featuring his last songs and last piano sonata, performed by baritone Matthias Goerne (for the first work) and Daniil Trifonov (for both). It should be amazing! I'm also hoping to meet some Wikipedians while I'm there. In preparation for the concert, I'm trying to tackle some Schubert on the piano (a departure from my usual Bach); I was brave (or stupid?) enough to start with his famous Moment musicaux No. 3, which is a challenge, but I think I'll get there.
