      • brianfreud
        It's ugly... you have 2 different cases I think there though - a direct transcription, where you could just AR it (like track #2), and a transcription with modification, where the modification probably needs some indication in the track title (like track #1), but the transcriber could prob just be an AR
      • 2007-11-27 33132, 2007

      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: or create the new artists: "Beethoven / Alkan", "Chopin / Balakirev", "Bach / Busoni" etc.. :)

        If you do an album merge will the track ARs on the old album transfer to the new album?
      • 2007-11-27 33120, 2007

      • xlotlu
        which IMO would be more accurate, but way uglier (and dumber for that fact..)

        so he is from which country tell me simply

        nope

        it has to count as a character in a word
      • 2007-11-27 33120, 2007

      • brianfreud
        what are you trying to use in a tag?
      • 2007-11-27 33125, 2007

      • nikki
        a question mark :/

        and I can't cheat and use a fullwidth one or one from another script, 'cause those aren't word characters either :/
      • 2007-11-27 33137, 2007

      • nikki
        so maybe I'll just use a word from another language that means a question, like ma or ka

      • 2007-11-27 33119, 2007

      • brianfreud
        yeah, I kind of had guessed the entire punctuation block would be caught, but figured it was worth the try :)

        nope
      • 2007-11-27 33121, 2007

      • nikki
        unicode says it's punctuation, so it goes bye bye
      • 2007-11-27 33157, 2007

      • xlotlu
        or maybe not. that would only work if there would be a centralized place for artist / works, bypassing the release-oriented structure
      • 2007-11-27 33151, 2007

      • xlotlu
        which would be nice, because you'd get standardised track naming, and link the tracks on releases to this one
      • 2007-11-27 33154, 2007

      • brianfreud
        I'd rather have a generic works list on the MB end than be linking to some tracklist outside of MB
      • 2007-11-27 33142, 2007

      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: that's what i meant
      • 2007-11-27 33110, 2007

      • xlotlu
        and you could link the track from the MB works list to the commons audio

        but the MB works list would really be great -- instead of duplicating all the work on fixing track names across releases and styleguide compliance, it'd get done in one place

      • symphonick
        MClemo, I didn't get that joke... anyway, the dictionary says transcription=arrangement. I'd say it's often a very small arrangement, like playing a cello piece on the violin and just change octaves...

        "instrumentator" feels like the wrong word somehow...
      • 2007-11-27 33105, 2007

      • symphonick
        xlotlu, perhaps brianfreud & co. could help us sort this out: I think the transcriber-info shouldn't be in the title, just in an AR. Am I mis- or overinterpreting some rules here?

      • 2007-11-27 33107, 2007

      • xlotlu
        this particular release goes as far as calling the composer Busoni, and calling the track "Chaconne transcription (after Bach)"

        well, if it's a major reworking, but I wouldn't use the word "transcribed" for that - in my book it means leaving the music more or less intact

        symphonick: what one would call "intact music" when transcribing from organ to piano is subjective

      • symphonick
        a lot of musical terms are not clearly defined, though, so that's IMO

        :-) Yeah, try "not adding any music"?

        symphonick: i'll make a transcription of a highly contrapunctal bach work for piano. i'll keep only the basic melody, one voice. would you call my composition bach's? :)

        "Not changing harmonies?"

        heresy! :)

        <symphonick> :-) Yeah, try "not adding any music"? <- ok, and a symphony transcribed for piano? Isn't there as much art in good subtracting as in good adding? :)

        brianfreud, I'd call that "arranging"?
      • 2007-11-27 33108, 2007

      • brianfreud
        *shrug* again I guess it comes down to quite what is or isn't changed

        symphonick: i really don't think bach literally imagined how his chaconne would sound on harpsichord. so this all boils down to how much credit the "arranger" should take for his work

      • xlotlu
        i chose to give credit in the track title, since many people seem to think it was very important work

        symphonick: IM(h)O creating the "Bach / Busoni" artist would actually be more accurate, but the thought of that creeps me out :)

        Me too.

        I did mention I'm trying to kill "Bach & Weiss"? :-)

        xlotlu, ...and that's the other way around from your Busoni example...
