Czech Suite, Op. 39
2 Preludium (Pastorale)
3 Polka
Tracknames:
2. Czech Suite, Op. 39: Preludium (Pastorale)
3. Czech Suite, Op. 39: Polka

Like worktitles in CSG but as it is written on the cover (my
interpretation). This would of course mean that some releases won't
have "BWV 244"...? In this case I suppose "Matthew Passion: Chorus:
Kommt, ihr Tochter, helft mir klagen; Choral: O Lamm Gottes,
unschuldig" (we have to decide what to fix in tracknames, missing
umlauts, should we standardize colons etc)

I thought that we would be able to search for "BWV 244" in the
worklist and from there locate the "connected" releases/tracks?

The only real showstopper for me so far for this system is if we have
to create a new "work" every time a work is split in more than one
track (4th mvt of Beethoven's 9 and similar) . Sounds like a big mess
to me. (& then there's this problem with identical releases in
different languages and/or different packaging & how to deal with that
without turning into discogs...)

I've actually been thinking about something like this for
CSGStandard/JSBach, since apparently Bach didn't name these works
"cantatas" (AFAIK)

I like ARs too, but currently there's no way of preserving the
original voice, if say a bass aria is sung by a baryton. I guess this
won't be a problem when NGS is in function?
