Aha! MB is already thinking in terms of "Works" rather than
"Releases"! We classical fans rejoice!

Fair, but this could get messy; I've a hard enough time finding
"Symphonies..." among "Symphony" releases (i.e. "Symphonies..." comes
before "Symphony..."); I rather like the idea of enforcing a
syntax/style for release names.

OK... different (maybe better) question: what do you think of the way
I have that release designated currently? :)

Cheers,
