That's fine too, perhaps the most CSG-compliant version. But I don't
know if it's better to leave out the worktype here? If we choose to
include it, we must decide between "Chorale", "Choralvorspiele" or
perhaps something like "Chorale-fantasia". brianfreud just entered
this in the wiki as:
Choralvorspiele für Orgel in a-Moll, BWV 599 "Nun komm der Heiden Heiland"
which IMHO is more information than I would want (except for the
missing O-B). I have never seen keys printed for the chorales before,
only names & BWV number (I think "for Organ" is superflous too)

Generally speaking, do we really need to enforce worktype,
instrumentation & keys for everything? It's useful for concertos &
such, but I'm not particularily enthusiastic about:
"Song for voice and piano in A major, Op. 333 Ave Maria" or
"Oratory in E minor for voices and orchestra "The Messiah": I. Sinfonia"

Sounds sensible to me.
