[edit]- ... that Felix Mendelssohn encouraged The Destruction of Jerusalem in Leipzig in 1840?

Interesting introduction to a work I didn't know about, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF. Minor comments to the article: the position of the opus number is unusual, brackets and commas look a bit confusing there, - how about the normal way, after the title? The scores are normally among the External links, - any reason for the prominence under a separate header? The German title of Mendelssohn's work, Paulus, would match the Zerstörung better. - For a future GA, a bit more on the music itself would be nice. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:46, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerda - I have made these changes, except for 'Paulus' as the English WP lists it as 'St. Paul'. - Smerus (talk) 09:02, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
- As you wish. I'd say Paulus for the work in German and performed in Germany which Schumann heard, but St. Paul when performed in English in New York, as I'd say Die Zauberflöte for a performance in German at the MET. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
