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

Article new enough, long enough, fully referenced. ALT4 hook fine. AGF on offline source. QPQ done. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
