- ALT 1: ... that Erhard Egidi conducted in 1990 both the first performance of a piece of funeral music that had been lost for 300 years and Bach's Mass in B minor?
- Otherwise the hook tries to say too much. Presume the citation [7] at the end of the paragraph covers the hook, but it needs appending to the actual statement; accepted on good faith, new, long enough and otherwise adequate. Please confirm acceptance of Alt hook or propose another. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 12:14, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking. ALT1 has no indication of a place, also it was not the first performance of that funeral music.

the article is right for size, age and hook. I think the music lost for 300 years is interesting. I can't see why we are trying to squeeze Bach's piece into the hook. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:50, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

- It's not squeezing, it's establishing notability, because the Mass in B minor is known as one of the greatest (and most difficult) pieces, - whoever can conduct that has a certain stature. Also: the Mass is known as choral music, whereas funeral music could simply be instrumental. Trimming
