I removed ''recitativo'' from the French column because as the wikipedia page explains, ''recitativo'' is not French. --[[User:davitof|davitof]] |

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">I agree that I've always seen ''récitatif'' in French. Yet, on French WP, ''récitatif'' redirects to ''recitativo'' and not the reverse; --[[User:MLL|MLL]] |

We should mention the plurals (especially for German) --[[User:davitof|davitof]] |

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]] |

Perhaps it would be helpful to add (appropriately capitalized) all the correct forms of key (and minor/major) for each of these languages? --cunkel |
