User:DavitoF/How To Link Works Together
From MusicBrainz Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
There are several relations you can enter between works. It is sometimes difficult to choose the correct one. Here are a few hints.
- for new versions of the work by the same author (similar instrumentation), use Revision
- for arrangements (modifications in the music such as adding or removing sections, ) use Arrangement
- for transciptions (same music but different instrument(s)) use Transcription (Bach choral) (orchestration: Pictures at an exhbition)
- for new versions of the work by a different author, use Other version
- when works are too different to use the arrangement relation, use Based on (Bach partita/Gounod Ave maria)
- when several works are assembled into one, use Medley
- to describe how a work is made of sub-parts, use Parts
I won't use Stravinsky's Petroushka (1911 version/1947 version) in the examples because I can't decide if the title should use the French or the English spelling : but should Revision or Version AR be used?
