Date of birth error[edit]
The date of birth shown on this page is wrong, as demonstrated in this article. I would be happy to correct it, but I don't know how to cite the Guardian article as a reference. Jc3s5h (talk) 22:49, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- This is due to the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in Germany in 1698 (as the referenced Guardian article explains). Bach's date of birth is 21 March 1685 on the Julian calender and 31 March 1685 on the Gregorian calender. Buxtehude (talk) 15:20, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Cause of death[edit]
Christoph Wolff: Johann Sebastian Bach - The Learned Musician, ISBN 0393322564, page 443 states on the cause of J.S. Bach's death that "No reliable medical condition diagnosis can be made in retrospect on such scanty material, but the most convincing hypothesis suggest an old-age-related diabetic condition as the origin of Bach's final illness." My source is almost fifteen years old, så if anyone has access to newer and better sources, I urge them to state the sources in Wikidata, so they can be controlled and the claim be accepted or rejected. If not, remember it is always better to be "roughly right" (in this case just state "natural death"), rather than running the risk of being "precisely wrong".

- Was not Jack the Ripper, I corrected vandalism (please, need to check other suspect edits!). But it was not "natural", see talk at Wikipedia. --Krauss (talk)
