The author starts by recalling the characterizing property of the classical orthogonal polynomials, which says that the sequence of derivatives is again orthogonal, and how new sets of polynomials (``neoclassical ones) arise by replacing the derivative with other operators. The computation of the inverse operator to the \(q\)-divided difference (Askey-Wilson) operator, obtained by \textit{M. Brown} and \textit{M. Ismail} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 123, No. 7, 2071-2079 (1995; Zbl 0828.33013)], is produced. Following this path, the author takes a new look at some classical trigonometric series and sums of Jacobi polynomials. A short glimpse on a combinatorial result of O. Rodrigues concludes the article. This paper combines an unformal style with mathematical rigour, and constitutes a delightful reading.
