Talk:Eight Short Preludes and Fugues

message: This stub about the G minor fugue should receive its own section within this article. Perhaps we should add a similar section for each of the other fugues in the set.--Bje2089 22:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Opposing addition of the  template:
* links to questionable MusicBrainz;
* contains a link that goes nowhere.
Wikidata can handle authority control (for which Wikidata is more suited than Wikipedia). --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:28, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: These have been added to many many thousands of articles without incident, and I don't see why this one should be an exception. Five out of the six links work ... maybe they're not that useful *now* but they may be in the future, and we shouldn't be waiting until a particular user has deemed all the links useful until adding it. A recent RFC on MusicBrainz's inclusion in authority control was closed as no consensus ... and as it says there, the links in the template are mostly for disambiguation and inclusion of links does not necessarily signify that they are reliable sources.

text: Also, the RfC you refer to (known very well to me: I initiated it) resulted in me removing the  template from many music-related articles where the template is not strictly needed (which is the case here). That is an editor choice. --Francis Schonken (talk) 15:29, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

text: Support addition of  - There are currently 6 IDs available, which go unseen by the Wikipedia reader/editor unless they click the "Wikidata item" link on the left margin. If an editor wishes to suppress a certain ID in , they may do so via a null parameter value; for example,  would suppress . This is explained under Template:Authority control/doc#Usage. If an editor wishes to remove an ID completely from , they may request it on the template talk page (ample time is always given for airing concerns prior to adding IDs to be recognized by the template).   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  16:22, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

text: I actually had written quite a detailed account for the article clavichord and pedal clavichord, because of Orgelbüchlein (the instrument was used for practice purposes). Later that became a sub-article pedal clavichord. For this particular article, however, reliable sources had nor been provided. I have corrected that today using the 2003 book of Peter Williams. He has also written brief descriptions of each BWV 553–560 which could be added as appropriate. Mathsci (talk) 21:04, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Authority control 

message: This picture is dated c. 1665, i.e 20 years before JS Bach was born. If the pieces are by JSB or his pupils then it's really not an appropriate illustration.......According to the article, one of the pieces may be post-1730. Can something be found which is at least close to the likely date(s)?--Smerus (talk) 17:06, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The high resolution image was chosen because it was a clavichord. You're right that pedal clavichords were used for practice by Bach's pupils (one manual, one pedalboard). I'll look for other Commons images. There is a clavichord from the Bachhaus in Eisenach which is very poor quality. In the Musée de la Musique in Paris, there are better examples.
