Style Question: CD from a player piano museum

MusicBrainz Style
1

Greetings,
I was trying to enter the titles of tracks for a CD I bought at the Speelklok Museum in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The tracks vary from Bach to Eric Idle’s Look on the bright side of life.
All are played by instruments in the museum.

Question: What do I use for “style”?

How do I do qa query into your database to see if it is already there?

not sure on if it should count as a compilation, the style guide for release group/type mentions “tribute albums” with covers by other artists as not being compilations. this seems like the instruments playing covers, but in the case of classical pieces, it’s just a performance of the piece by the instruments.

i think i’d just put “album” for now

as for artist etc., looks like on discogs a few are using [no artist] for the artist and the museum as the label.

each track should be a new recording, but can be linked to existing works
