Songs of classical composers

This one was in 1796. I don’t remember how to edit a date prior to 1937.

I'd like numerous classical pieces to be assigned to an album in any way. Of course, since most of these classical composer died long before the invention of records.

Let's say i want to assign all the pieces of The Magic Flute by Mozart to any album containing the whole opera. (in german of course)

Is there one i should consider over the others? There is an album credited to Mozart alone but there is no albums by Mozart that i could assign the songs to. So which one would? Most of the release contains numerous performer but it's the same for George Gershwin yet there are numerous choices when it comes to assign songs by him.

So i believe i'm going have to do it all myself right?

You won't help me to assign all the 78 pieces of Le Nozze di Figaro to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; Chor und Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin, Karl Böhm

First act down, three more to go.
Sheesh!

The vast majority of them are wrong

Verdi is no conductor

maybe there should be an artist called Random conductor because most of these great composer, they never conducted the premiere on any of their operas. Mozart did but he's the exception.

The real question is at what point does the ownership of the interpretation differ enough to allow the song to remain as a stand alone? Neil Diamond, for example, wrote, recorded and performed but then after UB40 covered the song Neil Diamond began playing using the UB40 interpretation.
If the policy is to go back to the original title that is being interpreted then there would need to be a number of changes to the TSO set lists beyond Nutrocker (from the Night Castle album) and Carmina Burana (from the Night Castle album).

You highlighted a nice grey area in the interpretation of the rules here. A song should be credited to the original writer/composer, regardless of a new arrangement. Now if the new arrangement comes with a different name, then what to do. In the case of Nutrocker vs Nutcracker suite it makes sense to distinguish the B Bumble arrangement from the Tchaikovsky arrangement, so while merging the two instances of Nutrocker, I have left the titles to distinguish between the arrangements.

Carmina Burana is a bit more difficult, because 1) it is pretty much the only Carl Orff composition that ever gets covered, and 2) since arrangements across bands differ so little you would want to see the the total amount of times the song is played in the statistics, and not have separate instances of the same song played by TSO, Therion or Carl Palmer.
There are discussions ongoing to see if different spellings of the same song can be included in the statistics (as there are many more such cases, especially with classical music) but this is still in development stage.

Which other TSO songs are you referring to that may need to be updated?

Lastly, for your Neil Diamon / UB40 example, if Neil Diamond plays the UB40 interpretation of his own song, you can also add this with an @Info tag.

I don't remember how to create setlist prior to 1938. That was the creation of La Bohème and it happened in 1896

As soon as it's done, I'll correct the whole setlist and mention all the different parts.

I don't think they'll do anything about Bourrée because the song may be performed differently, it still remains the same.

I wanted to call the song
Fifth Movement from Suite in E minor for Lute, BWV 996
