I offer the improvement for and academical music representation on Deezer catalog which can improve listening and discovering experience.
Here is my idea:
Academical music representation in the catalog should differs from representation of regular songs.
For regular songs we have such credits:
- Artist
- Track name
- Album
But academical music have such credits (as minimum):
- Track name
- Performer (Front-man/soloist/orchestra/band which performs the piece) (this type of entity is pretty close to Deezer’s “artist” entity)
- Author (composer which created the original composition (composed it)) (also close to Deezer’s “artist” entity)
- Work (composition) (one “work” can be performed by different “performers”)
- Recoding (the “Performer” and “Work” combination) (close to the Deezer’s “album entity”)
Example:
- Track name: “1. Introitus: Requiem”
- Performer: “Berliner Philharmoniker”&”Herbert Von Karajan”
- Composer: “Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart”
- Work: “Requiem in D minor, K.626”
- Recording: “Berliner Philharmoniker performs Requiem in D minor”
Would be great to add those fields to the track’s metadata and make it clickable, to surf the favorite works, orchestras, composers by clicking on focusing parameter.
