Talk:Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein, BWV 128

Trumpet in lead (as opposed to "Lead Trumpet"!)

Is there a reason why the trumpet is omitted from the instrument list in the lead? I feel discriminated against! :) I was tempted to pop it in but then worried that I had missed a memo or there's been discussion of its slight non-mainstream status, which is why I am here now.

Thank you. I was sure I added it, but obviously not. But now. Sorry. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:52, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Brilliant, thanks Gerda! DBaK (talk) 08:58, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Replace hlist with bullet points per Template:Infobox song

  This is infobox musical composition. The instruments in a Baroque orchestra are sometimes many, it would make the infobox very long if they were bulleted. {{hlist}} is therefore consistently used. --GA

• The first para of the lead should mention the text was possibly changed by Bach himself after stating why he was composed it; the performance should be the last part

  The text change seems no information needed immediately, especially if not even certain, but the performance is needed, - it's like a birth date for a person. --GA

• "It begins, unlike" → "The cantata begins, unlike"

  I am not sure, because I have been criticised for using the word "cantata" too much in previous reviews. Perhaps you can convince me ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:49, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

History and words

• Is a comma really needed before the usage of 'and' after (Acts 1:1–11)?

  It is needed, but I added to clarify that it is two types of readings. (I still don't know the grammar terms ...) --GA

• Img looks good!

  thank you! --GA

• Where is the personal view part mentioned by [6]?

  Good catch! I added Dürr, in the translation. --GA

• Remove wikilink on chorale per WP:SEAOFBLUE

  yes --GA

• Where do the sources mention these religious quotes or am I missing something here?

  more Dürr added --GA

• Last two paras look solid!

  thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:26, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Music

Structure and scoring

• "latterly one trumpet"." → "latterly one trumpet."" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences

  yes --GA

• Link Neue Bach-Ausgabe to New Bach Edition

  why? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

• Table looks good!

Movements

• Good

Manuscripts and publication

• Shouldn't the 2024 manuscript sale be the last piece of info in this section?

  not sure, first manuscripts then publication --GA

• Remove wikilink on Neue Bach-Ausgabe

  yes --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Recordings

• Link Gewandhausorchester to Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra

  same why - redirects confirm that the target is really the one meant, no? --GA

• Remove wikilink on Holland Boys Choir

  not sure, - when the article will be written, or the conductor changes, it will no longer be good, and tough to change 200 articles in such a case --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:41, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Notes

• Good

References

• Good

Cited sources

• Why do some of these not have retrieved dates?

  I added one. Do you think books should also have one?

• Allmusic.com → AllMusic with the wikilink

  done --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:48, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

External links

• Good

Final comments and verdict

• On hold until all of the issues are fixed; shouldn't take too long to fix this one! --K. Peake 12:46, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

  Thank you for reviewing, Kyle Peake! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:48, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

•  Pass now, I have read through these responses now and understand why you have not implemented certain points! --K. Peake 09:37, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
