Status: Work in progress. Tracking the CSG-works discussion here |
Name
For titled works, the name should be recorded in MB as it exists in print from a reliable source, such as a recent urtext edition. Adding to or altering a title given by the composer should be avoided. For untitled works, to be decided.
Language
Either For titled works, always use the original language given by the composer. Or Use always the English, Latin version of the work title, if it exists (I think this would be simpler for consistency with untitled works, but to be decided)
Catalogue numbers
As we currently have no field for catalogue numbers & those are an important part of identifying a work, the standard catalogue is added to the title.
Examples:
- Carmen
- An den Mond D 468
- Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147
- „Wie unglücklich bin ich nit“ K. 147 (125g)
- Gymnopédie No. 1
- Москва, Черемушки, Op. 105
- L'oiseau de feu
Multi-part works
For works that have multiple parts, the title and catalog number of the main work must be repeated in the name of each one. This makes the work list clearer and avoids a composer having several dozens of works named only "Allegro", which is difficult to deal with. Exceptions: Songs are often published in books/collections with one opus, often with generic titles like "3 songs for SATB, Op. 8". We want that as a super-work for UI reasons, but the works linked to a "collection" should not have their titles formatted as a multi-part work. (I'm not too sure about this, I think it makes search harder and becomes slightly inconsistent, but in any case, to be decided)
Examples:
- Nixon in China: Act 3 "I am no one"
- Ciclo brasileiro: Impressões Seresteiras
- Winterreise D. 911: Gute Nacht
- Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, op. 34 no. 2
Comment
Use the comment field to disambiguate different works by the same composer that have the same title (or a very similar one). This is useful even if the catalog numbers differ, but required only if they do not differ (or do not exist). For works with texts, comments are also important to differentiate translations.
Examples:
- Appalachian Spring (ballet)
- Appalachian Spring (orchestral suite)
- Goyescas, H.64 (piano suite)
- Goyescas, H.65 (opera)
- Nun komm' der Heiden Heiland, BWV 659
- Nun komm' der Heiden Heiland, BWV 660
Annotation
The annotation field has the same varied uses as in every other work. A specific use for classical works is to store the dramatic roles ("characters") of operas and similar works.
Aliases
For titled works, use only if the work is known under a different name. (applies only if we keep always original names, so to be decided)
English aliases for the examples above:
- Carmen (no alias)
- An den Mond D 468 (no alias)
- Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147 (no alias - German libretto)
- „Wie unglücklich bin ich nit“ K. 147 (125g) (no alias)
- Gymnopédie No. 1 (no alias)
- Moscow, Cheryomushki, Op. 105 (an alias for the Russian libretto, or translation for English libretto or both?)
- The Firebird
Special cases
Translated works
Translated works should be entered as distinct works, as they need a new relationship (translator) that doesn't apply to the original. They should be linked to the original with the
Examples:
- Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147
- Heart and lips, thy whole behaviour, BWV 147 (English version) (official translation from Bärenreiter) (can we find a recording of this to create the work from?)
- Moscow, Cheryomushki, Op. 105 (English libretto) see aliases
