Talk:Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt, BWV 68

Shortened term
Rather than cantana, which would be the best way to shortcut the name? Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt, BWV 68? or BWV 68? or Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt?...etc. I only ask, because I think "cantana" is used a bit too often in the prose. For example "He later inserted most of them in his third annual cantata cycle, but kept this one and..." Rather than say "this one", I think we need to be a bit more descriptive bearing in mind we speak of other cantatas before this mention. It would be wrong of us to use the full title, I just wondered if there was a shortened term we could use. -- Cassianto Talk   21:31, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * There's BWV 68, as for all of Bach's works, but you (or let's say I) would not use it in the prose. I'll go over it again. Thanks for pointing it out. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem. If I can be of any help, please get in touch. --   Cassianto Talk   23:38, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Would I be right in thinking that Bach's second year in Leipzig was 1725 as per his article? --  Cassianto Talk   13:26, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You would be right for the first half of 1925. He began his first year on the first Sunday after Trinity of 1723 with BWV 75, the second same occasion 1724, the third same occasion 1726. Better look at Chorale cantata and Bach cantata. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:31, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I ask because I think it would be helpful to give the year in the opening line "Bach composed the cantata during his second year in Leipzig for Pentecost Monday." --  Cassianto Talk   09:55, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * But then you would just repeat what was said last about the first performance. In 9x% of cases, Bach composed the cantata during the week before the performance, because he composed one for every occasion for two years. We don't want to repeat these basics in every cantata, some 200. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:22, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

OK, I am no expert, just an outsider looking in ;) -- Cassianto Talk   10:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * In order not to repeat, we wrote Bach cantata, can you find the link? Does that article make sense to an "outsider"? If not, please raise questions there, I am watching - sometimes late ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
