        there they seem to credit themselves more, but in http://justament.com/ansamblist it’s back to creditng SV more. anyway, it seems neither part played enough part creating the songs to prefer one to another

        Hum, I was wondering, would you add http://itunes.apple.com/fr/album/roses-deluxe-edi… as one digital media or split it in two medias, the album and the live ?

        Quick classical music question: is there any consensus on whether the same work by the same composer, but with a different performer improvising the cadenza, should count as a different work or the same work?
      • 2012-02-28 05912, 2012

      • mat_
        okay :-)
      • 2012-02-28 05931, 2012

      • rmunn
        E.g. Mozart's Concerto for Piano No. 1 in F major, K. 37: He wrote it with an explicit cadenza section, which means that every performance is going to be somewhat different.
      • 2012-02-28 05927, 2012

      • rmunn
        And we have three works records in the MB db right now: http://musicbrainz.org/work/549f586a-2c8b-3316-97… (no cadenza credited) / http://musicbrainz.org/work/8f0e93fd-46bc-3760-a4… (cadenza credited to pianist) / http://musicbrainz.org/work/1dad46e2-e559-3d25-8d… (no cadenza credited)
      • 2012-02-28 05942, 2012

      • rmunn
        I'm wondering whether to merge these works or not.
      • 2012-02-28 05915, 2012

      • rmunn
        And a related question: should the cadenza credit be on the work, or on the recording?
      • 2012-02-28 05953, 2012

      • rmunn
        My inclination is to say that the work should contain no cadenza credit and all three works should be merged, but the performer should be given a partial composition credit on the recording... except that recordings can't have composition credits.

        rmunn: I know some people have started adding cadenzas as separate works
      • 2012-02-28 05941, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But I'm not sure if there's consensus about it, and I can't even remember who they were
      • 2012-02-28 05958, 2012

      • rmunn
        reosarevok: By "adding cadenzas as separate works", you mean one work record for K. 37 composed by Mozart, and another work record for "Cadenza to Mozart's K. 37, composed/performed/improvised by Ingrid Haebler"? And then the recording would have "is a performance of" links to those two work records, I suppose. Does that sound about right?
      • 2012-02-28 05919, 2012

      • rmunn
        Because that way to do it hadn't occurred to me before, but it strikes me as exactly the right way to solve the problem. Then there's a single canonical work record for Mozart's K. 37, but the people who improvise cadenzas properly get a composer credit for their work.
      • 2012-02-28 05921, 2012

      • reosarevok
        That sounds about right at least in the Mozart side
      • 2012-02-28 05939, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I'm not sure if an improvisation really counts as a work, but I'm also not sure how improvised those improvisations are
      • 2012-02-28 05904, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But yeah, I think it's all in all a sensible solution

      • 2012-02-28 05917, 2012

      • rmunn
        At least for Mozart's K. 37 (the one I'm looking at right now), there's a section written just as "Cadenza", with a fermata'd rest written in for the entire orchestra (including the piano, though naturally the piano isn't going to be silent; the rest is just written in because there are no *official* notes written for that section)

      • rmunn
        CatCat: A cadenza is a part of a musical composition where the composer says "At this point, the person playing (insert instrument here) gets to go improvise for a while. When they're done, the rest of the orchestra picks up the piece again." See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadenza for more.

        never mind it's not alowed in front so they do it in back instead. never mind that this will block the the sun even more in the secluded backyard? that we have (just a narrow thing), NEVER MIND that peopel in rthe 1st, 2nd and 3rd are gonna get seriosuly less sun and light

        ie the previous house i lived in, had good balconies
      • 2012-02-28 05955, 2012

      • rmunn
        CatCat: Depends on the piece. The one I'm looking at right now is basically "Improvise whatever you want"; there's absolutely no hints given (other than what the rest of the composition sounds like). It's on page 38 of http://imslp.org/wiki/File:PMLP15347-Piano_Concer… if you want to see it for yourself.
      • 2012-02-28 05928, 2012

      • rmunn
        Although the Wikipedia page does say "Performers rarely improvise cadenzas these days"... meaning that if there's a piece with a cadenza section, the performer will look up what other people have chosen to do with that section, pick one s/he likes, practice it, and perform exactly the same "improvisation" when s/he performs the piece in concert.

        CatCat: Heh, sorry, I keep forgetting that not everyone learns to read sheet music. Must remember that other people use MusicBrainz besides classical music fans. :-) (And even among classical music fans, there are plenty of people who never learn to read music... but I'd guess that the percentage of those who do read music is probably higher among classical music fans than among a random sample of the general population.)

      • CatCat
        rmunn: you make the assumption that the ration of p: likes classical music and P: likes non-classical music doesn't over lap? especially in musicbrainz :P
      • 2012-02-28 05901, 2012

      • rmunn
        CatCat: Not at all. My assumption is that the sets of "likes classical music" and "can read notes" have a higher degree of overlap than many other sets, THEREFORE the chances are that a data point outside set 2 is also outside set 1. :-)
      • 2012-02-28 05931, 2012

      • rmunn
        Not guaranteed, but a decent chance. In your case apparently the proposition is false, though. :-)
      • 2012-02-28 05938, 2012

      • nikki can read music (fairly basic stuff, at least, it's not like I ever need to) and doesn't listen to classical at all
      • 2012-02-28 05943, 2012

      • rmunn
        Also, there are plenty of people who WOULD like classical music if they got exposure to it, who never get a chance to hear it... non-classical music gets much wider exposure in popular media, in my admittedly limited experience, which means that if you want to hear good classical music, you often have to deliberately seek it out.
      • 2012-02-28 05952, 2012

      • reosarevok assumes "can read Japanese" and "can read music" also overlap somehow, nikki

        How about "can tell you the Unicode codepoint of certain weird characters without needing to look it up?" I'm not *quite* there yet, but I'm getting close...

        "A mailing list is the only required mechanism for two way communication in an open source project, but there are many other mechanisms that projects are tempted to use. In this section, we'll look at why a mailing list is essential and why everything else is a potential diversion from the core activity of the project."

        huh.

        it's odd that they don't list any realtime communication methods on that page, I really would have expected a mention of irc channels :)

        channel under the sun. They set up mailing lists, forums, IRC channels, Second Life worlds, and more. This is the wrong thing to do."

        hi nikki
      • 2012-02-28 05916, 2012

      • nikki
        what happened with the video channel relationship you were proposing?
      • 2012-02-28 05952, 2012

      • kepstin-laptop
        nobody ever +1d it, and I got busy with some school work
      • 2012-02-28 05901, 2012

      • nikki
        oh
      • 2012-02-28 05906, 2012

      • nikki
        well I'll have to fix that :P
      • 2012-02-28 05914, 2012

      • reosarevok
        The school work?
      • 2012-02-28 05928, 2012

      • nikki
        no
      • 2012-02-28 05941, 2012

      • kepstin-laptop
        Then I realized that http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Streaming_Music_Relati… has an artist-url version with the 'video' checkbox
      • 2012-02-28 05943, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Aww, I'm sure kepstin-laptop would prefer that
      • 2012-02-28 05950, 2012

      • kepstin-laptop
        which means that the AR would be redundant.

        kepstin-laptop: argh, that's not supposed to be used like that :(
      • 2012-02-28 05917, 2012

      • reosarevok forgot it had an artist-URL version
      • 2012-02-28 05933, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I mean, I guess it's not *technically* wrong, but...

        Of course, I guess you *could* merge the YouTube one into it
      • 2012-02-28 05921, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But... I don't really like the idea
      • 2012-02-28 05930, 2012

      • nikki
        I'd say they're different anyway :P
      • 2012-02-28 05906, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Well, I'd say the streaming video one shouldn't be used at all
      • 2012-02-28 05919, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Unless you want to use it for stuff like YouTube artist-based playlists
      • 2012-02-28 05925, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But still, ugh
      • 2012-02-28 05933, 2012

      • nikki sent a +1 anyway
      • 2012-02-28 05949, 2012

      • kepstin-laptop
        alright, if you want to add a new relationship anyways.
      • 2012-02-28 05904, 2012

      • nikki
        would you use the one you're proposing for ustream stuff?
