Violoncello piccolo[edit]

The article says that the violoncello piccolo part in the aria is high and technically difficult. That is only the case if played on a normal cello, for which the part was not composed. When played on a real violoncello piccolo, whether on the arm or cello-style, with the right strings, the part is relatively easy, as every baroque cellist will testify, and actually in a rather low range.

Time[edit]

Bach went to Leipzig in 1723, so he was in his third year there, not the second, as referred... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.75.50.175 (talk) 18:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He took up office mid-year 1723, so Easter 1724 was his first there, Easter 1725 his second. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:20, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The text doesn;t refer to his first -EASTER- year. It just refers to his second year in Leipzig FOR Easter Monday! Moreover, Bach wrote many compositions in 1723, so it was his third WORKING year in the city... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.65.125.101 (talk) 16:27, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

His first year was from 30 May 1723 (First Sunday after Trinity Sunday) to 4 June 1724, his second year from 11 June 1724 to 27 May 1725, - BWV 6 falls in that second year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:12, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking this up. You have a few days, I'd like it for DYK on 17 April. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:07, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The lead summarises the article, no issues here
"The reason for the change was possibly the loss of a librettist" - The reason for the change was possibly due to the loss of a librettist
"The poet took verse 29 from the Gospel as a starting point" - this is the Gospel of Luke, just to clarify?
"The librettist chose for the third movement two stanzas from "Ach bleib bei uns, Herr Jesu Christ"" - this could be rearranged to The librettist chose two stanzas from "Ach bleib bei uns, Herr Jesu Christ" for the third movement
"It is characterized by a persistent walking rhythm" - characterised, if you want to stay consistent with spelling

A compact and well written article! I couldn't find any major issues with this as it was smooth throughout. I think it meets the criteria as it is, so I'll pass it outright. I also checked all of the sources and found no issues with verification. Well done JAGUAR 20:37, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
