I finally got around to fixing some Van Cliburn compilations and I'm
not real crazy about how I listed Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata.

http://musicbrainz.org/release/0a22f9d2-208d-4eb7-8938-a9a7de20f231.html

Beethoven named the sonata "Quasi una fantasia" but it is probably
better known as "Moonlight Sonata", see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven%27s_Moonlight_Sonata

I've seen this listed lots of ways in MBZ. For the classical editors,
what is your opinion on how a work, such as this, which has more than
one "name" should be listed.
