I have always wondered the same thing. (So I'm just chiming in, in hope 
of getting more attention to the question. :)

Yuck! (And for The Messiah, according to one booklet I have,  "around 
ten versions are discernible in all" ;)

Noone has mentioned the possibility of dropping the whole workname part 
in cases where the work span the entire physical medium:

Chorale, BWV 599: Nun komm der Heiden Heiland
Part I. "But Who May Abide the Day of His Coming"

[Oh that CapitalizationStandardEnglish does *not* look good there...]

Anyone feel like going this way?
