Sorry, I was getting in a tangle here. 1) Surely the disambiguation should be used for distinguishing between similar works, not somewhere to put data that doesn't fit in the main title. 2) The issue I was referring to was that if the title should "only contain the title given by the composer", then surely the modern title is irrelevant. 3) Why not put the modern title as an alias? lixobix wrote > > symphonick wrote >> If a work is available with translated titles and it is unclear which is >> the original, use the language of the first performance… > contradicts > symphonick wrote >> Translated titles, such as "The Firebird" and "Christmas Oratorio" should >> be entered as aliases. Contradicts, because the second says translated titles are aliases, whilst the first says they may be the title where the original language is unknown. -- View this message in context: http://musicbrainz.1054305.n4.nabble.com/RFC-Classical-works-part-II-Titles-tp4656529p4656832.html Sent from the MusicBrainz - Style mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
