Pupil and critic of J.S. Bach?[edit]

Scheibe seems to be remembered today as a pupil of JS Bach and a critic as well. From the WP article on Clavier-Übung III: "Over the same period Bach's former pupil Johann Adolf Scheibe had been making stinging criticisms of Bach: in 1737 he wrote that Bach 'deprived his pieces of all that was natural by giving them a bombastic and confused character, and eclipsed their beauty by too much art.' " Other criticisms are mentioned as well.

None of this is reflected in the current article. I hope somebody can rememdy this. Opus131 (talk) 20:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translating from German[edit]

I have expanded this article with reference to the German wikipedia article, up to the section on Musical Works.

I deleted the sentence on Scheibe's return to the service of the Danish kings in 1766 (Christian VII) since this does not appear in the German article, but I have not researched this issue.

I am having difficulty translating this passage from the section "Der Musikkritiker Scheibe über seine Zeitgenossen", so have left it out rather than risk a significant mistake.

Bachs Kirchenkompositionen hielt Scheibe für hochkünstlerisch und elaboriert, in Ausdruck, Überzeugungskraft und Plausibilität seien ihnen die Werke von Georg Philipp Telemann und Carl Heinrich Graun jedoch deutlich überlegen. Seinerzeit würden die meisten Deutschen neben Telemann Graun und Johann Adolph Hasse als höchstrangige Komponisten genannt haben.MtheV (talk) 03:21, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
