The artist should be the composer(s) of the performed work.

The correct composer(s) to use may not be obvious:

• A work was left unfinished by the original composer, then completed by another composer.

  Use both composers.

• A work by one composer consists of variations on a work by a different composer.

  Use the composer of the variations.

• A work was composed by one composer, then arranged, orchestrated, and/or instrumentated by a different artist.

  Use the composer, not the arranger, orchestrator, or instrumentator.

• If it is unclear as to whether a work should be considered an arrangement or a variation, then the style list should be consulted for guidance.

• Classical "Covers"
