 * Lead
 * Can we say something like (German for "Just as the rain and snow fall from heaven") in the lead, and also in similar cases in the main article?
 * compare BWV 65 --GA
 * Fine, if it is not the norm, no need. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 07:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Would be good to add "composer" or perhaps "German composer" before Bach.
 * compare BWV 65 --GA
 * Fine, if it is not the norm, no need. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 07:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Would be good to add a word on who Neumeister was.
 * will think, that's what links are for, no? --GA
 * I looked harder. In the lead, it seems like undue weight, - we don't say who Bach was, why Neumeister? In the body, there's quite a bit already. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You have a point. Links are fine, but in many articles they are introduced. There is no rule for this really, so don't worry about this unless it comes up as a FAC quibble :) Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 07:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Link Weimar period.
 * Good idea, will think about that also. --GA
 * tried now --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 28 April 2016 (UTC)


 * relatively early in Bach's chronology of cantata compositions Would be good to give an idea of how many Bach composed.
 * his bio says that in the lead, - why would we repeat it in every cantata? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Just a suggestion, and I am not against the norms in these articles. I was interested because you deal with numbers in this line. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 07:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * History and words
 * What does "capelle" mean?
 * linked to Court chapel now ---GA


 * Any link for Gotha?
 * yes ;) ---GA


 * It is one of few text  "texts"
 * yes ---GA


 * second ovement "movement"
 * yes ---GA


 * Scoring and structure
 * Use any proper source, but do have inline citations at the end of paragraphs. I don't want such a nice article to be littered with "cn" tags.
 * For the keys, look at Sources, early version and Leipzig version, - and tell me how I quote that inline without loosing the predictable spot for the links ---GA


 * I think you didn't wish to link Leipzig? If it has to be, then better link it in the earlier section, at its first mention.
 * link removed ---GA


 * Just curious, where do you introduce people and where do you not? For example, Alfred Dürr is introduced even though his name is linked, while Christoph Wolff is not. (Sorry, I am spoiled by FAC nitpicking ;) )
 * explained Wolff ---Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:43, 1 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Music
 * Link accompagnato
 * both secco and accompagnato are sections of recitative, hesitating, - would have to link both, sea of blue?
 * Better not. Sainsf  (talk · contribs) 03:52, 2 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Source for "4"?
 * yes ---GA


 * Selected recordings
 * You may wish to give an idea of who Oron is.
 * rather not, see other cantatas ---GA

That should be it. Another masterpiece, as always! Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 08:12, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for good points, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Why did this have to wait for ages for a review? It won't have to anymore, this is promoted. Cheers! Sainsf  (talk · contribs) 03:52, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
