Thanks

Thanks for the quotes formatting attempt, but I just want to keep my post the way it is. :) -- Cirt (talk) 14:47, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for changing it, :) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:44, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

That concert

Dear Gerda, Thanks, what a wonderful occasion you have painted. Sadly I have been utterly tied up in family matters of late, and seem never to have a day to myself, or to attend such things. I have just been lured into an arid debate (see my edit history) which I forbid you to become involved in! Sometimes it is very hard not to be misunderstood, even with the best of intentions. Take care! I am tickling at my piano, a horrible noise to everyone except me! Eebahgum (talk) 22:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!! And maybe you can find at least one link for the recording details I have just added to 'Komm, du süße Todesstunde'-? Doesn't the Mannheim Choir get a mention anywhere?Eebahgum (talk) 22:55, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

That's a really great article about the Paulinerkirche in Leipzig. How bitterly sad it is, though you have brought it before the eyes of the world again for Misplaced Pages. Thankyou. Eebahgum (talk) 23:44, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Paulinerkirche, Leipzig

On 18 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Paulinerkirche, Leipzig, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Paulinerkirche, the university church of Leipzig where Luther preached, Bach performed and Mendelssohn premiered Paulus, was dynamited in 1968 in communist East Germany?

Wonderful article! Thank you for writing it. I am having trouble understanding why it was dynamited in 1968 -- how could such a cultural treasure be so casually destroyed? Especially when you consider how many of the great cathedrals and monuments in Germany were destroyed or heavily damaged during the war. Many of my own ancestors are from Leipzig; they may have worshipped there. Antandrus (talk) 21:55, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Why? It wasn't fit for communism nor for the way the regime wanted the Augustusplatz to look. You can see what they got in the one ref in English. The website of the foundation has pics of the destruction. I was in Leipzig in 2008 and heard the Thomanerchor, every service mentioned the debate about the new construction and its function. I was reminded now when a Bach cantata (BWV 59) took me to the article stub, - and got hooked. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott, BWV 129

On 19 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott, BWV 129, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Bach's cantata for Trinity Sunday, Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott, BWV 129, a chorale cantata on five stanzas, ends like his Christmas Oratorio, "punctuated by brass and orchestral fanfares"?
