why would we have new works? we'd just have tracks mapping onto existing works in different ways.
i suppose what this tells us is that a given track might have to map onto a 'range' of parts of the work:
for isntance, if i had a cd of beethoven's 5th where they left the 3rd and 4th movements as one track (they lead into one another) we'd need to map that SINGLE track onto TWO movements

I've entered maybe 100 operas so far, and my
experience has been that for popular arias you are
generally correct, but in general the titles depend on
the release. I think in general for each new release
of an opera you will have "new" works.
I rarely see releases whose track names are entire
scenes. Once or twice I've seen entire acts on one
track.
