talk) What discussion? Why are we not including the traditional starting date of Japan as we do with China and the Xia Dynasty? Both are the traditional starting points of the nations but have little historical evidence. It is still, however, the traditional history of the countries.)Tags: UndoReverted

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→Life: removed link to Johann Kuhnau in 'Bach's predecessor as cantor, Johann Kuhnau' as Kuhnau is linked to earlier in section, under 'Appointment in Leipzig'; removed link to 'Latin' in 'He was also assigned to teach Latin'; removed link to 'Brandenburg Concertos' in 'Apart from showcasing his earlier orchestral repertoire such as the 'Brandenburg Concertos' as they are linked to under Köthen.)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→20th century: 'Leading performers of classical music such as...'; yes, plenty of greats have performed Bach, but only three have the unique distinction of having their recordings of Bach included on the Voyager Golden Record: Karl Richter, Arthur Grumiaux and Glenn Gould. I specified that, and that Stokowski's orchestration of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor opened Fantasia. For many people, myself included, that was there introduction to Bach.)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→Weimar, Arnstadt, and Mühlhausen (1703–1708): Bach was dissatisfied with the standard of singers in the choir. He called one of them a 'Zippel Fagottist' weenie bassoon player). Late one evening this student, Geyersbach, went after Bach with a stick.' Changed this to 'He called one of them, Geyersbach, a Zippel Fagotist. Late one evening, Geyersbach...')

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→Childhood (1685–1703): 'During this time' is unnecessary in a section called 'Childhood (1685–1703)'; hopefully it was during that time, or why would it be there? Replaced 'he was also taught' with 'he also studied.' ' Their journey was probably undertaken mostly on foot.' I know what this is referring to, but it's not referred to in se)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→19th century: added 'of' to 'Bach was deemed one three Bs' (my bad). ' 'From 1873 to 1880, Philipp Spitta published 'Johann Sebastian Bach', the standard work on Bach's life and music.' Probably the standard for many years; is it still?)
diffhistJohann Sebastian Bach 14:55−26
Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→19th century: 'Also in the second half of the 19th century' is kind of unnecessary, since the paragraph is about second half of 19th century. Specified that 'From 1873 to 1880, Philipp Spitta published 'Johann Sebastian Bach', the standard work on Bach's life and music.)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (/* Changed 'first performance of Mass in B minor' to 'public performance'. 'Forkel published Ueber Johann Sebastian Bachs Leben, Kunst...' yes, but why give German title on English language page? Most Bach works are referred to by English titles. Axed 'which contributed to his becoming known to a wider public'; noted he dedicated it to van Sweiten. 'By that time, Bach was known as the first of the three B's'; yes, by Cornelius; von Bülow swapped Berlioz for Brahms.)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→18th century: 'After his death, Bach's reputation as a composer at first declined'; changed 'at first' to 'initially', removing 'initially' from start of following sentence. Wouldn't Bach's meeting with Frederick, which inspired Musical Offering, be worth mentioning? Still think saying Haydn 'owned manuscript copies of Well-Tempered Clavier and the Mass in B minor and was influenced by Bach's music' should be more specific; how was he influenced?)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→20th century: 'Three works by Bach{{mdash}}more than that of any other composer{{mdash}} are on the Voyager Golden Record.' True, but this isn't about those other composers, it's about Bach. I changed this to 'Three works by Bach are featured on the Voyager Golden Record. Isn't it worth noting the three Bach pieces included? I included it.)

Aza24talkcontribs (→18th century: Not sure what you mean; Mozart's counterpoint definitely did not try to model Bach's, a very different approach to chromaticism and episodic moments; Bach was an important motivation for him to even attempt these styles is the main thing here. Nice edits otherwise!)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→18th century: italicized first appearance of '[Well-Tempered Clavier', not second; Haydn 'owned manuscript copies of the Well-Tempered Clavier and Mass in B minor and was influenced by Bach's music'; yes, but how? What part of Bach's music? His use of counterpoint? Mozart 'wrote contrapuntal music influenced by his style'; wouldn't it be more accurate to say 'in his style'?)
diffhistJohann Sebastian Bach 04:11−22
Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→20th century: don't know about 'Switched-On Bach recordings'; do know about Switched-On Bach, and The Well-Tempered Synthesizer. Shouldn't there be more about Leopold Stokowski's orchestral arrangements, like of the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor? What about use of his music by Duke Ellington and The Beatles (Blackbird)?)

Charlie Fausttalkcontribs (→Reception: 'In the 20th century, Bach's music was widely performed and recorded...Modern adaptations of Bach's music contributed greatly to his popularisation in the second half of the 20th century. Among these were the Swingle Singers' versions...' that's true, but is mentioned under 20th century, where it properly belongs. Moved Mendelsohn, St. Matthew to 19th century re: Bach revival.)
