Buxtehude[edit]

Moving this paragraph here for now until I or the original author can find a cite: MarkBuckles (talk) 11:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Bach was influenced by Dieterich Buxtehude (in 1705, Bach walked around 200 miles from Arnstadt to Lübeck to hear his music and organ playing) and this work is often seen as one of the clearest examples of that influence."

Image[edit]

The first choice for an image is something directly related to the work,such as apage from the score. The usual choice in other cantatas when none is available is the place where it may have been performed. This is the only cantata possibly first performed in Arnstadt, - a good opportunity to show the place. The portrait is disputed. It appears in other early cantata articles (including two FAs) but in the body. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:58, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to swap in a page of the score if we can find one, but the organ isn't a good option. First, we don't know whether it was composed in Arnstadt or not; second, the sentence that says it may have been composed for this church is unsourced; third, it is not clear to a lay reader the significance of the Wender organ to this work.

I will do this. Thanks, Ya sh ! 10:39, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

"possibly already" -> "possibly".
Link "Arnstadt".

History and text[edit]

Please mention who Jonathan Green was.
Also, W. G. Whittaker. We can probably link him as well.
Unlink "Mühlhausen" the second time.
References for the first two bullets?
Why is "DOKTOR CONRAD MECKBACH" in all caps? Wouldn't that inside "" without the capitalisation be better?
"which occurred in April 1707" -> "in April 1707".
Use the full name of Meckbach if possible.
Source for the last sentence?

Music[edit]

Can we have individual sub-sections?
"There are no recitatives, no da capo repeats, and there is no chorale tune." - why is it important to state that? If Bach uses them in his later or earlier or other works or if it is relevant in any manner, do mention that or else remove that statement.
"The musicologist" -> "Musicologist".
Are we missing the third movement?

References[edit]

Ref#9 - Link "University of Alberta".
Ref#11 - jsbachcantatas.com should not be in italics.
Ref#12 - juliankuerti.com same as above.
Ref#13 - bachkantaten.ch same as above.

That should do it. My sincere apologies for the delay. I was caught up with the moving in the Netherlands. Ya sh ! 17:28, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly done. We still need a source for the second bullet in the History section. DOKTOR CONRAD MECKBACH is in all caps because it is an initialism and so appropriately capitalized per MOS:CAPSACRS (and this is Meckbach's full name). The movement descriptions are too short to warrant their own subsections, and none are missing. "The musicologist" is correct. Website names are appropriately italicized - see the documentation for |website= in {{cite web}}. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the changes! Perhaps Francis Schonken could help with the Zwang? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That looks good. I will pass once a source has been added for the second bullet. Cheers, Ya sh ! 14:00, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tried: copied the Zwang ref from BWV 4, where Francis introduced it. I am sorry not to read French, - could someone else please confirm it? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will pass assuming good faith. Great work! Ya sh ! 14:30, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
