Style/Work

Status: This is an official style guideline.

Type

Work types should only be used on works that specifically match the chosen type (not every work needs to have a work type!).

Beethoven's Sonata Pathétique is set to "Sonata", but its first movement should not have a type, since it's not itself a sonata (nor does it fit any other existing work type).
Schubert's Winterreise is set to "Song-cycle", while its first part, Gute Nacht is set to "Song".
John Williams' soundtrack for Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is set to "Soundtrack", but the Imperial March should not be.
