Editing Mass in B minor (section)

=== 19th century ===
As recounted by George Stauffer,<ref>Stauffer, ''Bach: The Mass in B Minor'', pp. 187–98.</ref> the next documented performance (not public) in the nineteenth century was when [[Carl Friedrich Zelter]]—a key figure in the 19th-century Bach revival—led the Berlin Singakademie in read-throughs of the "Great Mass" in 1811, covering the Kyrie; in 1813 he led read-throughs of the entire work. The first public performance in the century—of just the Credo section—took place in Frankfurt in March, 1828, with over 200 performers and many instrumental additions. In the same year in Berlin, [[Gaspare Spontini]] led the Credo section, adding 15 new choral parts and numerous instruments. A number of performances of sections of the Mass took place in the following decades in Europe, but the first attested public performance of the Mass in its entirety took place in 1859 in Leipzig, with Karl Riedel and the Riedel-Verein.  The first performance of the Mass in the UK was given by [[The Bach Choir]], newly formed for this purpose by conductor [[Otto Goldschmidt]], in 1876 in St James's Hall, London.
