Düben collection

  • ... that the Düben collection contains the sole surviving copies of many works by Dieterich Buxtehude? Source: Edling, 1987: "More than 100 cantatas by Buxtehude belong to it, many of which are only to be found Uppsala."
    • ALT1:... that the Düben collection contains a significant amount of Italian musical works, indicative of the influence of Italian music in 17th-century Germany? Source: Webber 1996 [2001]; as cited in article
    • ALT2:... that the Düben collection was compiled by members of the Düben family who were court musicians in Stockholm? Source: in article; also "Düben family" on Grove
  • Comment: Three hooks; first one is the best but feel free to choose the other ones if you think they're better

Interesting collection, on good sources, offline and subscription sources (please mark as such) accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - I suggest to call it Düben Collection, as major sources do. In case of a move, please don't move this template. - How do you feel about an infobox, to avoid making it look like an article about Membra Jesu Nostri? In the article, "as a whole" comes in two sentences in a row. I changed a source year in the calls, please check. The Swedish has a list of works, which might be a good idea for at least those with articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:32, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: "collection" would not be capitalised in normal WP:SENTENCECASE situation (nor is it, Webber, who is not using it in the function of a title, consistently does not capitalise it). I was considering putting a list of composers represented, but with over 300 of them (the Swedish article is only a partial list), I thought that that's obviously too much for an encyclopedic article; and it also is redundant with the link to the online catalogue; so I've settled with only listing the most prominent as identified in sources.

I saw this, which looks more scientific and recent to may, but as you like. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:35, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
