Standard Classical format for song titles

• Song titles for Classical albums must follow a standard format:
  • Name of Work, Key, Catalogue Number: Movement Number. Movement Title.
• Don't include the original composer name in the track title (Place them in the songwriter section).
• For Example:
  • Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36: I. Andante Sostenuto
  • Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36: II. Andantino in modo di canzone
  • Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36: III. Scherzo. Pizzicato ostinato

Movements from a larger collection or work

• If you're only performing a single movement that is taken from a larger collection or work, we still need to include the larger work title and catalogue number. For example:
  • The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I: Prelude and Fugue No. 10 in E Minor, BWV 855
  • Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147: X. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
  • 24 Caprices for Violin, Op. 1: No. 15 in E Minor
  • 24 Vocalises, Op. 81: No. 1 in C Major
  • 24 Préludes, Op. 28: No. 7 in A Major

Works that don't need a key listed

• Not all works will need key listed as part of the main title. For example:
  • Préludes, Book I, L. 117: VII. La fille aux cheveux de lin
  • Suit bergamasque, L. 75: III. Clair de lune
  • Myrthen, Op. 25: No. 1, Widmung
  • Carnaval, Op. 9: I. Préambule – II. Pierrot

Works that don't have a catalog number or opus number

• Some works do not have a catalog or opus number. For example:
  • The Carnival of the Animals: XIII. The Swan

Common nicknames for works

• If you want to use a common nickname often attributed to a work, do so in quotations at the end of the main title, just before the colon at the end of the main work title. For example: 
  • Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74 "Pathétique": I. Adagio sostenuto
  • Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-Flat Major "Emperor": II. Adagio un poco moto

Works that have been arranged or transcribed for a different instrumentation

• Works which have been arranged or transcribed for a different instrumentation need to note this in the title. For example:
  • The Carnival of the Animals: XIII. The Swan (Arr. for Tuba & Contrabass Flute)

Opera titles

• Opera titles should be formatted as: Title of Opera: "Title of Track". For example:
  • Così Fan Tutte, K. 588, Act I: "Smanie Implacabili"
  • Lohengrin, WWV 75: " Einsam in trüben Tage"
  • Macbeth, Act II: "Come dal ciel precipita"
  • Carmen, WD 31, Act I: " Chœur des cigarières"
