We should better define the scope of this - there's no need to provide translations of all musical terminology - just those words that are common in album or track titles and thus may need to be entered in MB. [[User:Dupuy|@alex]] |

I think a page like this is very useful, and that this page ought to be un-marked candidate for deletion. We may not translate tracks in this manner, where this page would be important, but I've considered doing just something like this for instruments, having found some that are nearly impossible to figure out in foreign languages, as well as some which are false cognates, and thus have led to incorrect info being found on the web. Example: "Trompa" translates as "English Horn", but many sites don't check, and end up listing "Trompa" as "Trombone". -- -- [[Brian Schweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 04:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC) |

Revision as of 17:29, 15 August 2007
This is an attempt at providing a translation of musical terms commonly found in track titles and release titles in different languages (list of languages non exhaustive, feel free to add columns). Very useful when trying to be consistent, when some disc sleeves are not (unappropriate use of movement type name, mix of different languages...).
Most of the translations are / may be taken from Wikipedia's "other languages" section.

Comments
I removed recitativo from the French column because as the wikipedia page explains, recitativo is not French. --davitof
- I agree that I've always seen récitatif in French. Yet, on French WP, récitatif redirects to recitativo and not the reverse; --MLL
We should mention the plurals (especially for German) --davitof
