Sounds good.
Speaking of specifying more stuff, what kind of "grey area" would this open up?PuigdemontLoL wrote:
While I still have my doubts on what would qualify for this convention as it is meant for classical music alone and a whole grey area might open up, I believe this is a proper standarization to properly credit the people who originally created a composition which, more often than not, will have a myriad of different interpretations.
So I vouch for the idea even if it might need to specify more stuff.
I don't think this is much of a contention point personally;PuigdemontLoL wrote:
It was brought up in the mapping hub and even here with mint's words, but where do you draw the line between something being a mere performance and an entirely new work based on previous works? Even Midi performamces were brought up, and now covers as said by mint. What to do with those? Do we treat them under the same umbrella? Those are the questions to be answered to avoid the most confusion.
But do not misunderstand, I do fully back this idea due to how important should be to properly credit both the original composer and the respective performer.
That's because utaite songs are covers. If the instrument and the backing sound is literally the same, it's simply just a cover. This is not a case for live-performed songs (or rather, in this case, pieces), because it may be interpreted differently than what it would be by the composer.Nao Tomori wrote:
why only classical and not all utaite type things

If the song's original release isn't the recording by the original artist (such as classical music pieces), both Artist and Performer must be creddited with a `Artist (Perf. Performer)` notation in the Artist field.
I wouldn't be in support of this, mostly because there are many composers who perform their own music and the original release often times include the composer themselves as the performer alongside many others.Proposed RC wrote:

There is no set standard that I know of for classical music. The most typical ones I know about:Ephemeral wrote:
Do other services have a standard or generally consistent way of using this kind of performer-composer notation? We should probably try to use that if at all possible.
What about pieces where original composers are not known?Could do the same as currently when the artist isn't known, "Unknown Artist" - or maybe could use "Anonymous" / "Unknown Composer". I think such cases are quite rare in osu! so it could be considered when it happens.
This probably fits well enough under the existing "Unknown Artist" rule. Conversely it's also interesting to consider the opposite case ("Unknown Performer" could be a thing)pwhk wrote:
