Feature description:
In an album, the tracks could be arranged as follows:
above the movements of a piece is the name of the work (e.g. Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227)
indented under the heading are the movements of the piece, each described only by its name (e.g. IX. “Gute Nacht, o Wesen” and X. “So nun der Geist”).
In an album only containing one piece with its movements, you wouldn’t even need to display the title in most of the cases.
Metadata such as Vorbis Comments (e.g. in FLAC) could be used for this. There are already WORK, MOVEMENT, MOVEMENTNAME and MOVEMENTTOTAL, with which this information can be entered.
Problem solved:
Classical tracks usually have very long titles, because for every track you have to list the work, the catalognumber, the movement number as well as the movement name. In an album, I don’t need all of that. It would make looking for and finding a specific movement easier and declutter my classical albums.
Apple Music Classical is doing it like this, and it brings me great joy every time I see it. I would really like to see something similar in Symfonium.
Brought benefits:
Many people are listening to classical music. I would even go so far as to say that classical music probably makes up a large part of the recordings that are not available on the usual streaming services. Just think of amateur recordings or old and unknown recordings/pieces.
Other application solutions:
Apple Music Classical does a very nice job with that feature. I guess they’re using metadata as well to sort the tracks. See screenshot for reference.
