I should finish this by tonight. JAGUAR 15:39, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first two paragraphs of the history section has no citations
"Bach performed the cantata again in Leipzig on 26 March 1731 and probably on 11 April 1735" - in Leipzig on both occasions?
" to the darkness of the grave (des Grabes Finsternissen)" - should this be italicised?
No dead links

@Gerda Arendt: sorry for the delay! These articles are brilliant as always, however I did find that two paragraphs are unsourced. Once the paragraphs in question are sourced, I'll promote this in time for Easter Monday. JAGUAR 14:56, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! When I added a bit of background I missed adjusting the refs, sorry, now done. I gave the Finsternissen quotation marks, as the other German bits there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:29, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing them quickly! It meets the criteria so by all means, let's promote this.
