Please keep the section about the content of the book (named "Content" for that reason) confined to content of the book (what is in the book, what is not in the book) not about the question on "why" Forkel wrote what he wrote (or didn't write what he didn't write): such are topics for other sections of the article, if noteworthy. The mere second-guessing without a commentator saying so in a reliable source, e.g. "...presumably a conscious decision on Forke[l]'s part..." is of course not noteworthy. --Francis Schonken (talk) 16:49, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't it when Cantor Doles had choir boys sing some motets to Mozart, who liked them? `Marlindale (talk)

Hope this helps. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:53, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see that 1782, from van Swieten, was earlier than 1789, in Leipzig (Doles). Thanks. Marlindale (talk) 23:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that for Beethoven the van Swieten patronage and his playing the WTC in salons is rather 1790s (see Ludwig van Beethoven#Establishing his career in Vienna). --Francis Schonken (talk) 05:13, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
