Default Re: Classical Music Attribution

Going through and finding eveyrthing that needs changing. Really hoping someone takes the time to actually change these, I don't care which of the three formats you use as all of them are significantly better than what we have now.

Current Name
Common Name Last format (technically correct)
alternatively Common Name First format
alternatively Common Name No Key format
Proper Artist attribution
notes:

------------------------------------

One Minute Waltz
Waltz Op. 64, No. 1 in D♭ major "Minute Waltz"
alternatively Minute Waltz in D♭ major (Op. 64, No. 1)
alternatively Minute Waltz Op. 64, No. 1
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer.

Minute Waltz v2
Waltz Op. 64, No. 1 in D♭ major "Minute Waltz" v2
alternatively Minute Waltz in D♭ major (Op. 64, No. 1) v2
alternatively Minute Waltz Op. 64, No. 1 v2
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer.

Revolutionary Etude
Etude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor "Revolutionary"
alternatively Revolutionary Etude in C minor (Op. 10, No. 12)
alternatively Revolutionary Etude Op. 10, No. 12
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer.

Etude in E Major
Etude Op. 10, No. 3 in E major
alternatively Etude in E major (Op. 10, No. 3)
alternatively Etude Op. 10, No. 3
F. Chopin
notes: Don't capitalize major/minor in the key name. This song is dramatically cut and perhaps that is worth noting. Also needs a performer, perhaps this is another performed by Xandertrax himself?
This is sometimes called the "Tristesse'" (sadness) or "Farewell" Etude though neither was used by Chopin himself- not sure if we want to use one of these common names or not.

Op.10 No.9
Etude Op. 10, No. 9 in F minor
alternatively Etude in F minor (Op. 10, No. 9)
alternatively Etude Op. 10, No. 9
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer. This really doesn't have a common name (other than being known as the "easiest" of the Chopin Etudes lol)

Winter Wind Etude
Etude Op. 25, No. 11 in A minor "Winter Wind"
alternatively Winter Wind Etude in A minor (Op. 25, No. 11)
alternatively Winter Wind Etude Op. 25, No. 11
F. Chopin pf. B. Hisamori

Black Key Etude
Etude Op. 10, No. 5 in G♭ major "Black Key"
alternatively Black Key Etude in G♭ major (Op. 10, No. 5)
alternatively Black Key Etude Op. 10, No. 5
F. Chopin pf. B. Krueger

Prelude No. 7
Prelude Op. 28, No. 7 in A major
alternatively Prelude in A major (Op. 28, No. 7)
alternatively Prelude Op. 28, No. 7
F. Chopin pf. Xandertrax

Molto Vivace
Transcendental Etude S. 139, No. 2 in A minor
alternatively Transcendental Etude in A minor (S. 139, No. 2)
alternatively Transcendental Etude S. 139, No. 2
F. Liszt
notes: "Molto Vivace" is merely the instructions for the style and speed of the piece, it has little to do with the name lol. Missing a performer; this sounds rather MIDI-ish to me so it might be hard to find.
This is technically from Études d'exécution transcendante, but I'm being realistic with my English here. The common name for this, if any, would be Fusées (Rockets).

La Campanella
Grand Paganini Etude S. 141, No.3 in G♯ minor "La Campanella"
alternatively Grand Paganini Etude in G♯ minor (S. 141, No.3) "La Campanella"
alternatively Grand Paganini Etude S. 141, No.3 "La Campanella"
alternatively La Campanella (Grand Paganini Etude S. 141, No.3)
alternatively simply La Campanella
F. Liszt
notes: It is difficult to know how technical to be with the name of this piece, as it is SO widely known merely as La Campanella, so I gave a few options, starting with the most technical. Which you use depends on the format chosen for the other songs. Once again I was realistic with English, instead of using Grandes études de Paganini. w_c mentioned he had a friend master a MIDI for this recording, it would be great to get said friend's name as a performer attribution.

Grand Galop Chromatique
Grand Galop Chromatique, S. 219
alternatively simply Grand Galop Chromatique
F. Liszt pf. A. Laviano
notes: Basically already correct. Hardly even worth changing, though the format for the performer's name needs a quick fix.

Mephisto Waltz
Mephisto Waltz No. 1, S. 514
alternatively Mephisto Waltz No. 1
F. Liszt pf. Xandertrax
notes: This song is cut (the full version as Liszt wrote it was 10+ minutes), not sure if that is worth noting.
A subtle difference here is that the No. 1 goes before S. 514, as Liszt wrote multiple Mephisto Waltzes (and even a Mephisto Polka!) over many different years. This makes the numbering distinct from the type of numbering uses for pieces within an individual opus.

Hungarian Dance #7

Hungarian Dance #5

Turkish March

Moonlight Sonata

Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia Mov.3
notes: Don't forget to change the associated token text as well.

Humoresque No. 7

Caprice

Flight of the Bumblebee

Rondo Alla Turca

Rondo Alla Turca V2
notes: Is there a standard format for the "v" in v2s? Some are "v2" and others are "V2" lol... I went with lowercase using "vrofl" as my guideline but I'm not sure here.

Can Can (Piano Version)

Badinerie


Additional songs to check: Leaves In The Wind, Tambourin Chinois, ragtime songs.


additional notes: Etude is actually spelled Étude- not sure if FFR's font can handle the accent but if the character exists in the font it's worth using for accuracy!
If the ♭♯ characters are not supported, spell it "-flat" or "-sharp" i.e. D-flat, C-sharp


This is clearly still a work in progress, it's taking me a few hours to get all this right so bear with me lol :P
EDIT- Okay I'm getting a little tired of this... I have finished half of the songs. If an admin comes in here and promises to change them once I'm done, then I will promise to finish this within a day. How about that?
