Well, I thought it was a little heavy on quotes, is all. If you like it, terrific. (I like it myself, it just seems a bit quote heavy.) Charlie Faust (talk) 03:28, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article moved to draft space

Hi, I moved your recent article to draft space by giving valid edit summary. Please check and improve if you're interested. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Happy editing! :-) Maliner (talk) 08:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks for the feedback.

I think the song is worthy of a page as it was the basis of a music video by a major director and was covered by a major artist (among other reasons.)

Any advice for reliable sources on music? Charlie Faust (talk) 00:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bach

I noticed that you made many changes to Bach's biography, and I don't have the time right now to look in detail. Thank you for your attention, but I noticed some things: (in German) you don't study at a Gymnasium, but only at a university. The whole bassoon player anecdote seems out of place, but if kept he is certainly not a singer. Who called whom three B's when seems also only marginally related to Bach's music. Please check such things. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:38, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add the Gymnasium, or the Geyersbach incident (the bassoonist). Those were both there before me. I don't see why the bassoon incident is out place; as I said, it was there before me, and is mentioned by John Eliot Gardiner in Bach: Music in the Castle of Heaven.

I think it's worth noting that the three B's were Bach, Beethoven and Berliozz (later Brahms). Times change, but Bach remains a lasting influence. Charlie Faust (talk) 23:35, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for explaining. The idea to improve Bach is noble, but details are the way.

You are right, you didn't add Gymnasium, but you added "studied", and I told you that you don't "study" at a German Gymnasium, only at a university. I find it a bit problematic that your edit summaries take a while to be digested, - can you please shorten them, in this case perhaps just "active voice"?
I love Gardiner's book, but just because he brings something doesn't say that we must repeat it.
We will have to disagree about the 3B. What does it add about the understanding of Bach's music?

I brought several Bach compositions to featured article and found that tough enough, BWV 1, BWV 4, BWV 227, among others - the latter the hardest. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:23, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I admit I'm not an expert on German primary education, so I'll defer to you on that one. Feel free to fix it.

The Geyersbach incident seems out place? I'm not sure it does. We don't really know much about the life of Johann Sebastian Bach, but that incident is documented.

The 3 B's might not add to our understanding of Bach's music, but it does add to our understanding of Bach's legacy. By the nineteenth century, his stock had risen so that he was considered one of the three major composers in Western music (along with Beethoven and Berlioz. Later in the century, Brahms replaced Berlioz.) The 3 B's is still a phrase I hear used. It belongs in Legacy because it shows how his stock had risen by the nineteenth century. Even after Brahms replaced Berlioz, Bach remained as one of the 3 B's, a position he's held ever since. Times change, but Bach's influence remains.
