Contradictions

There are contradictions about the number of survived Erlebach's compositions. We read:

Only 70 compositions (about 7 percent of his working output) survived...

BUT:

About 90 of his sacred cantatas still exist...

From the more than 120 instrumental works Erlebach is known to have produced, only 13 pieces survive.

Quite right, one might think the numbers have been mixed up. In the Grove online article there are 73 cantatas listed, plus 4 motets and one mass. Plus 13 instrumental pieces, that would make up some 90 odd works in total. But there are also the two collections of 75 secular arias, mostly parodies from his two lost operas. If you count them as two works (collections), we have got a total of 93 works (if you count the arias separately, there is quite more). FordPrefect42 (talk) 14:42, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
