I interpret the word eponymous to mean anything named after a particular person (not just an artist lending their name to something), which would therefore currently include these examples of quartets named after deceased composers. I don't mind these quartets being sorted by their namesakes, but

2009-03-02 Thread Paul C. Bryan
I think that there's enough support for my earlier query that I should propose this formally as an RFC. Problem Summary: According to SortNameStyle, a band name that contains the name of a person should sort as a fictitious name rather than as the person's artist sort name. This results in works o
