I have agreed to review this article. My knowledge of music almost exclusively comes from not particularly successful childhood piano lessons so apologies if I sound ignorant.--Llewee (talk) 14:17, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
History
[edit]- "based on the main chorale for Christmas Day" - I feel a bit more context might be useful here. Was it used for for a specific event or concert?
- " It was published in 1524" - clarify that the "it" refers to Luther's work
- "The prescribed readings for the feast day were from the Epistle to Titus" - Could you clarify how the readings link to the song?
- "but paraphrased the ideas of the inner stanzas into alternating recitatives and arias." - I think this could be rewritten in a way that is more accessible for the common or garden idiot like myself.
- "even after his Christmas Oratorio had been first performed in 1734 for which he also used two stanzas of the same chorale" - I would suggest taking out "even after" which gives impression that their something surprising about him continuing to perform it after 1734.
