History:Classical Entries That Need Editing

Here is a list of Classical entries that are in particularly poor shape, most of all they need to be moved to proper Artist that, as per ClassicalStyleGuide, is the composer. If you are not sure how to deal with an entry post to the musicbrainz-users mailing list or add an entry to the ClassicalStyleGuideDiscussion page.

Bogus Artist to be emptied

• Classical

Reports

• Tracks named with their own track number has many classical entries that are missing the work title in the track titles (and thus begin with something like 1. Allegro ma non troppo).
• Albums to convert to Multiple Artists has many classical albums that do not follow ClassicalStyleGuide with respect to the use of the colon; often a dash is used.
