Wikipedia's own article on Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei, Op. 47, is a tertiary encyclopedic source. Its strength is that it records the piece's own history plainly: composed in 1880 in Liverpool, published in Berlin in 1881, dedicated to the cellist Robert Hausmann, and drawing on the Kol Nidre declaration and a melody from Byron's Hebrew Melodies, alongside Bruch's own quoted remark on writing music from a tradition not his own. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: a reliable outline, not a substitute for dedicated musicological scholarship on the work.
