Evangelisch

Usually I fight the translation of "evangelisch" as "evangelical". "Lutheran" is new. - We can say that the chorales are Lutheran, but we can not say that evangelisch translates to Lutheran. Also, the Carus Werkausgabe edition has "protestant" in its Volume 4 of the Werkausgabe, p. 24 - well, it should be Protestant. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:14, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Becker, Alexander; Grafschmidt, Christopher; König, Stefan; Steiner-Grage, Stefanie, eds. (2014). Introduction (PDF). Stuttgart: Carus-Verlag. pp. 25–29. ISBN 978-3-89948-206-5. {{cite book}}: |work= ignored (help)
Please look at the reference I gave for the Carus edition of Op. 67 currently in the article. Carus gave that translation and I just followed them. I even gave that link in the edit summary when modifying your translation.[1] Mathsci (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The term "Lutheran chorale" is commonly used in books on musicology in the English language, without further explanation. Peter Jones' two volume book on Bach is a good example. I cannot imagine why anybody, including Gerda, would dispute that. Mathsci (talk) 03:30, 1 March 2017 (UTC) [reply]

I am not against it, but you can't say "it translates to" - it doesn't. Please find another wording, such as "commonly known in English". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:29, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shorter English title of the collection

There is no conformity in the published editions for the English translation of Reger's longer or shorter title. In the Carus edition there is no use of upper case in the English title. Christopher S. Anderson, one of the main musicologists to have written on Reger's organ music, does not use upper case letters. I was unable to find any reliable sources which support The Rambling Man's choice of title, so have restored the previous title. Personally I would be quite happy to use the shorter title in German that appeared on the orginal covers: "52 Choralvorspiele für Orgel".[2] Mathsci (talk) 05:41, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
