MusicBrainz, at the moment, is a database of releases. That means
release titles and track titles. The track titles are usually not 100%
copies of liner notes, they are somehow standardized, but they are still
just track titles. There is no difference between classical and
non-classical here. Of course this is very far from ideal for classical,
but you just have to accept the fact that track titles in MB are not
work titles. I work in most of my free time on making it possible to add
musical works to MB. It will probably take some time until it happens,
but starting (or continue?) to treat tracks like works will definitely
not help it.
