Suggestion of split

I'd like to suggest that this work be split, for the sake of simplicity. Membra Jesu Nostri is not a single work, each of its "parts" is a whole Cantata with its separate movements. And so it is that each of the Cantatas received an independent opus number (ok, it's a sub-set of the main work, but it exists anyway...). I'd like to hear your arguments pro and against the split :)

Independently of the result of this survey, I believe that this page needs to be merged to the other similar editions. —Carlos Email.gif 22:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I replaced the merge tag before spotting you post, and guess I still come down on the against side, though I'm of course open to hearing how things can be simpler! We are dealing so to speak with members of one body, with catalogue numbers BuxWV 75a … BuxWV 75g, and in my San Francisco Bay neighborhood piecemeal performances are scarce enough that I can't recall any.Richard Mix (talk) 22:21, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
