Classical Style Guidlines: Release Title: limit length of "A list of works by different composers"?

[mmirG]

Rachmaninov: Daisies, op. 38/3 / Vocalise, op. 34/14 / Prelude C♯ minor, op. 3 / Prelude B♭ major, op. 23/2 / Prelude G♭ major, op. 23/10 / Prelude B major, op. 32/11 / Prelude G minor, op. 12/5 / Schumann: Klavierstucke, op. 32 / Brahms: Four Ballades, op. 10

This looks like too much.
Is it?
Solutions?

I think it’s OK. It follows the cover of the release, which is what users with the CD in hand would be looking for. If you would omit a couple of works, searching users might think that their release isn’t in the search results.

If you really want to shorten it, I guess you could call it “Rachmaninov: Daisies / Vocalise / Preludes; Schumann: Klavierstücke; Brahms: Four Ballades”.

PS The CSG calls for separating composers with a slash, but also separating works with a slash. But because here we have multiple composers and one composer with multiple works, I think separating composers with a semicolon looks much less confusing.

@mfmeulenbelt

think separating composers with a semicolon looks much less confusing.

The possibilty for confusion also exists for the case where there are two composers for a work.
One work around used, I believe, is to separate the two composers with a comma instead of a slash.
Though this is indistnguishable for the naive from an unknown composer being credited by Surname, Firstname.

eg
Who is/are the Composers for
Fmek, Cotue: Violin Concerto
?

Or even worse, ’
Fmek, Cotue, Dhawa: Piano Works

Your proposal would solve that problem too.

What is printed on the spine?
I would take that, usually.
