Re: Classical Music Attribution

I support this 100% - it might involve changing the name of a few things in game but it definitely looks neater and more professional.

Great suggestion.

Re: Classical Music Attribution

Sounds legit and indeed looks a bit more coherent. I know nothing about that notation though... I always thought what we had now was ok. :S

To how many songs does this problem apply to?

So far, I believe:

Maple Leaf Rag
Fig Leaf Rag
The Entertainer
Hungarian Dance #7
Tambourin Chinois (??)
Jelly Roll Blues
Turkish March
Black Key Etude
Op. 10 No.09
Mephisto Waltz
Grand Galop Chromatique
La Campanella
Winter Wind Etude

Re: Classical Music Attribution

If people think this is too archaic one possibility is to put the common title in the front:

Winter Wind Etude (A minor, Op. 25 No. 11)

This is not technically wrong and is much easier for people to read.

@MarioNintendo nearly every song by a classical composer in FFR has some sort of attribution error lmao. It's been bugging me for a while...

Re: Classical Music Attribution

I tried to list those I could find.

Re: Classical Music Attribution

If you're wondering where I'm getting this from, I use the attribution listed on IMSLP. I generally trust it as a pretty good source of music information.

EDIT- I'll have to check but I think the ragtime pieces are attributed correctly. Not sure about Tambourin Chinois, I'd have to look around the internets for information about that one most likely. The rest all have minor issues, yeah.

Re: Classical Music Attribution

100% support. Classification of pieces would improve the "classical genre" and make it look more professional, nonetheless more stomach-able.

**TC_Halogen** · 10-28-2011, 08:17 PM

Re: Classical Music Attribution

What about One Minute Waltz (which, to my knowledge is Waltz 64 Op. 1 - "Petit Chien)?

I don't know about Molto Vivace. Also, Op. 10 No. 9 - does it have some sort of name too?

Re: Classical Music Attribution

Going through and finding eveyrthing that needs changing. Really hoping someone takes the time to actually change these, I don't care which of the three formats you use as all of them are significantly better than what we have now.

Current Name
Common Name Last format (technically correct)
alternatively Common Name First format
alternatively Common Name No Key format
Proper Artist attribution
notes:

------------------------------------

One Minute Waltz
Waltz Op. 64, No. 1 in D♭ major "Minute Waltz"
alternatively Minute Waltz in D♭ major (Op. 64, No. 1)
alternatively Minute Waltz Op. 64, No. 1
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer.

Minute Waltz v2
Waltz Op. 64, No. 1 in D♭ major "Minute Waltz" v2
alternatively Minute Waltz in D♭ major (Op. 64, No. 1) v2
alternatively Minute Waltz Op. 64, No. 1 v2
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer.

Revolutionary Etude
Etude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor "Revolutionary"
alternatively Revolutionary Etude in C minor (Op. 10, No. 12)
alternatively Revolutionary Etude Op. 10, No. 12
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer.

Etude in E Major
Etude Op. 10, No. 3 in E major
alternatively Etude in E major (Op. 10, No. 3)
alternatively Etude Op. 10, No. 3
F. Chopin
notes: Don't capitalize major/minor in the key name. This song is dramatically cut and perhaps that is worth noting. Also needs a performer, perhaps this is another performed by Xandertrax himself?
This is sometimes called the "Tristesse'" (sadness) or "Farewell" Etude though neither was used by Chopin himself- not sure if we want to use one of these common names or not.

Op.10 No.9
Etude Op. 10, No. 9 in F minor
alternatively Etude in F minor (Op. 10, No. 9)
alternatively Etude Op. 10, No. 9
F. Chopin
notes: Would be lovely to find the performer. This really doesn't have a common name (other than being known as the "easiest" of the Chopin Etudes lol)

Winter Wind Etude
Etude Op. 25, No. 11 in A minor "Winter Wind"
alternatively Winter Wind Etude in A minor (Op. 25, No. 11)
alternatively Winter Wind Etude Op. 25, No. 11
F. Chopin pf. B. Hisamori

Black Key Etude
Etude Op. 10, No. 5 in G♭ major "Black Key"
alternatively Black Key Etude in G♭ major (Op. 10, No. 5)
alternatively Black Key Etude Op. 10, No. 5
F. Chopin pf. B. Krueger

Prelude No. 7
Prelude Op. 28, No. 7 in A major
alternatively Prelude in A major (Op. 28, No. 7)
alternatively Prelude Op. 28, No. 7
F. Chopin pf. Xandertrax

Molto Vivace
Transcendental Etude S. 139, No. 2 in A minor
alternatively Transcendental Etude in A minor (S. 139, No. 2)
alternatively Transcendental Etude S. 139, No. 2
F. Liszt
notes: "Molto Vivace" is merely the instructions for the style and speed of the piece, it has little to do with the name lol. Missing a performer; this sounds rather MIDI-ish to me so it might be hard to find.
This is technically from �tudes d'ex�cution transcendante, but I'm being realistic with my English here. The common name for this, if any, would be Fus�es (Rockets).

La Campanella
Grand Paganini Etude S. 141, No.3 in G♯ minor "La Campanella"
alternatively Grand Paganini Etude in G♯ minor (S. 141, No.3) "La Campanella"
alternatively Grand Paganini Etude S. 141, No.3 "La Campanella"
alternatively La Campanella (Grand Paganini Etude S. 141, No.3)
alternatively simply La Campanella
F. Liszt
notes: It is difficult to know how technical to be with the name of this piece, as it is SO widely known merely as La Campanella, so I gave a few options, starting with the most technical. Which you use depends on the format chosen for the other songs. Once again I was realistic with English, instead of using Grandes �tudes de Paganini. w_c mentioned he had a friend master a MIDI for this recording, it would be great to get said friend's name as a performer attribution.

Grand Galop Chromatique
Grand Galop Chromatique, S. 219
alternatively simply Grand Galop Chromatique
F. Liszt pf. A. Laviano
notes: Basically already correct. Hardly even worth changing, though the format for the performer's name needs a quick fix.

Mephisto Waltz
Mephisto Waltz No. 1, S. 514
alternatively Mephisto Waltz No. 1
F. Liszt pf. Xandertrax
notes: This song is cut (the full version as Liszt wrote it was 10+ minutes), not sure if that is worth noting.
A subtle difference here is that the No. 1 goes before S. 514, as Liszt wrote multiple Mephisto Waltzes (and even a Mephisto Polka!) over many different years. This makes the numbering distinct from the type of numbering uses for pieces within an individual opus.

Hungarian Dance #7

Hungarian Dance #5

Turkish March

Moonlight Sonata

Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia Mov.3
notes: Don't forget to change the associated token text as well.

Humoresque No. 7

Caprice

Flight of the Bumblebee

Rondo Alla Turca

Rondo Alla Turca V2
notes: Is there a standard format for the "v" in v2s? Some are "v2" and others are "V2" lol... I went with lowercase using "vrofl" as my guideline but I'm not sure here.

Can Can (Piano Version)

Badinerie

Additional songs to check: Leaves In The Wind, Tambourin Chinois, ragtime songs.

additional notes: Etude is actually spelled �tude- not sure if FFR's font can handle the accent but if the character exists in the font it's worth using for accuracy!
If the ♭♯ characters are not supported, spell it "-flat" or "-sharp" i.e. D-flat, C-sharp

This is clearly still a work in progress, it's taking me a few hours to get all this right so bear with me lol :P
EDIT- Okay I'm getting a little tired of this... I have finished half of the songs. If an admin comes in here and promises to change them once I'm done, then I will promise to finish this within a day. How about that?

Re: Classical Music Attribution

Wow thank you, that's a great list.

One thing I was grappling with was how to include the common names appropriately. Let's face it, the community has gotten used to calling the Winter Wind Etude by that name, so it seems unnecessarily archaic not to include it somewhere in the name. But the list as you have it is very good. Hopefully someone comes in here and actually works with us to get them changed >_<

p.s. awesome video of Caprice No.5! I had no idea that performance was on Youtube

**hi19hi19** · 10-31-2011, 09:05 PM

Re: Classical Music Attribution

There is no common name for Chopin Op. 10 No.9

My only huge gripe with your list is to not put "Molto Vivace" for Transcendental Etude No.2. Out of all the misnamed files that is the worst- it's truly WRONG; it has nothing to do with the name of the song in any context and is not worth preserving IMO. Other people's opinions about this would be nice- I'd say if we have to use a common name, use Fus�es/Rockets, but I'd actually prefer just Transcendental Etude No.2.

I'm also leaning towards an abbreviation for the movement rather than the name of the movement, i.e. Mvt. 3 instead of "Presto agitato" for Moonlight Sonata. Again it's less technically correct but more in-line with how a non-music person would name the piece. I think some concessions have to be made for accessibility... though on the other hand it does look a little goofy >_<. It's worth discussing though because I'm not sure why you went with the movement name system.
(p.s. I'm pretty sure the Alla Turca is Mvt.3 so that's what I put but I didn't check lol)

Also went with "Shortened" over "Short version" - it's not technically a "version" of the song, more a "perversion" (lol I'm so funny)
Anyway "shortened" gets the idea across better IMO- why did you use different words?
Also, am I correct in understanding that Mephisto Waltz No.1 is not tagged -Shortened- (even though it most certainly is shorter than the full piece) because it has been marked as "arranged" by Xandertrax?

I'm pretty sure Badinerie is the 7th movement of Suite no.2, is that worth marking? I added it in but I'm not entirely sure it's correct.
Also, I didn't add this in but should we credit SKG_Scintill as the performer of Chopin Etude Op.10, No.9? He said so above...
Shortened Philip Glass to P.Glass too.

Anyway this is what I propose, similar to what you had really. What do you think of the changes?

Re: Classical Music Attribution

I don't mind not being listed as performer, given that I could also record myself playing it, at which point I would be the actual performer. Right now it's more "performed by EDIROL Orchestral"
