[mb-style] jazz/classical style question

Hello Here is a tricky one: This album http://musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=507178 is a jazz version of a classical work. Should the CSG be applied (artist=composer, work full title for each track,...)? -- Frederic Da Vitoria ___

no. as shown on the wiki, writing is just a less involved subset of composing. composition is like a midway point between writing and arranging. not my words, but: Writing is creating the most basic form - anything from the melody idea, to the tune as a whole. Composing is like building the

As I said before, I understand, but what about sleeves where all you get is a name or a couple of names, with no mention of what they precisely did. Usually, you can guess who wrote the lyrics and who did something with the music, but that is about all. Or sometimes, you get something like music:

in contemporary music, the name in brackets is the 'written by' credit - you should give all names in brackets that credit, and not specifiy who wrote the lyrics/music/etc, if it is not given. if it's music: xxx, lyrics: yyy, they would be music written by xxx, lyrics written by yyy. for

Precisely what I was getting at. Chris, I fear that we will enter falsely precise data in the database this way. When it is not written on the sleeve, nothing proves that the writer didn't actually compose. And when it is written, we are not sure the guy who wrote the sleeve made the same

It makes no difference. Think of the arguement the other way. Numerous classical works are later arranged with different instrumentation. That doesn't change anything about the role the composer played in the creation of the piece, it only changes the arrangement. The composition is unchanged,

The same thing can be achieved by clarifying what the AR relationships mean. We already consolidate instruments for instance that have multiple common names (i.e English Horn and Cor Angelis). Why do we need multiple relationships to describe the same role? Accuracy is achieved by clarity not
