Initial comments[edit]

"He composed the dialogue cantata" - what is a dialogue cantata? It doesn't have to be elaborated here but I've never seen it in other Bach articles I've reviewed so far

I thought so far that it was self-explanatory. We can link to Bach cantata, as in the several others, but I don't know if that helps --GA

The third paragraph is looking a tad short, can it be expanded slightly or rearranged? (Not major)

Will grow a bit, but not right now --GA

"the last movement includes the second stanza of Martin Behm (de)'s" - no need for this Dutch link here I think, I've never seen anything like this

By the time it hits the Main page there will be a blue link, - it's {{ill}}, tremendously helpful --GA

"The free poetry of the two movements" - what does free poetry mean?

the work of the librettist: not bible, not chorale --GA

"Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid" (Ah, God, how much heartache,)" - comma after bracket
"The final movement, "Ich hab für mir ein schwere Reis" (I have a difficult journey before me)" - comma needed at the end
Ref 2 is missing an access date

Ref 2 is a Google Books link - these don't need access dates. Otherwise your points have all been addressed. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:46, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On hold[edit]

Short review but those were the only minor inquiries I could bring up. Feel free to ignore the first two points as I'm not sure on them myself. The lead length should be fine as it summarises the article anyway. Once all of the above are addressed it can be another GA! JAGUAR 13:50, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing all of them! Looks good to go now.

Sorry, I have overlooked that it should have been a template but wasn't. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:52, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
