Tagging classical music

The "Composition" tag works really well. A couple of pointers, however:

1) If there are a large number of pieces (the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas being a good example), remember to start by using 'Piano Sonata No. 01' and not 'Piano Sonata No. 1'. I found this out the hard way (of course) and had to re-tag all my early Sonatas and String Quartets.
2) Best to stick with a short and simple name for the Composition - 'Piano Sonata No. 15', is probably better than 'Piano Sonata No. 15 (Pastorale)', lest one use different spellings eg 'Pastoral' (no 'e' at the end). Again I found out the hard way. Mondschein and Moonlight could be another source of confusion.

I hope that all of my many mistakes are offering some light relief if nothing else!
