Checking against the GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"adding sparkle by a "dancing" soprano" - sparkle?

"Bach performed the cantata again in later years" - any exact date?

"The Gospel asks how Jesus" - gospel isn't capitalised in the lead

"John Eliot Gardiner, who conducted in 2000 the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage and conducted this cantata" - a bit choppy due to repetition of "conducted"
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article has been exceptionally good. I couldn't find anything worthy of putting this on hold, well done! JAGUAR 16:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hymn[edit]

Giving a heads-up regarding recent updates at Herr Christ, der einig Gotts Sohn. Maybe still wait a little until dust has settled there, and then, if needed, avoid content forking regarding the hymn.

Specific regarding this cantata is that Bach may have known the hymn from the Neu Leipziger Gesangbuch, where it is attributed to Knöpken: so, who wrote the hymn may be less relevant to this article (possibly not part of the context available to Bach at the time when he wrote the cantata). --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:03, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Foreword by Hans-Joachim Schulze[edit]

This foreword, taken from a 2006 book of Hans-Joachim Schulze, gives details on the biography of Elisabeth Cruciger, the hymn and musical aspects of BWV 96. Mathsci (talk) 21:28, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
