Classical album titles follow specific conventions to make works easily identifiable. Titles should include the composer’s name and the work title, with variations depending on the number of composers and pieces included. Here’s how to format them correctly.

Single Composer

• Use the composer’s last name, followed by the work title.
• Example:
  • Mozart: "Toy" Symphony in G Major
• You can also use the first initial + last name:
  • J. Bach: Trio Sonata in C Minor

Two Composers, Same Genre

• List both composers before the work title.
• Example:
  • Mozart & Haydn: String Quartet

Two Composers, Different Works

• Separate works with a hyphen.
• Example:
  • Allegri: Miserere – Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli

Multiple Composers, Different Works

• List all composers and their pieces in the title.
• Example:
  • Composer 1: Piece – Composer 2: Piece – Composer 3: Piece

Things to Note

• Consistency matters—use the same format across all tracks and albums.
• Avoid unnecessary punctuation or extra descriptors unless part of the official work title.
