5.1B. Title proper
Interpretation:
In applying this rule, be governed by the definition of "name of a type of composition" in 25.27A1, footnote 10.
Apply the second sentence of this rule to titles consisting of the names of two or more types of composition only when each of the types named constitutes a more or less distinct part of the work or item. (In such cases the names of types are usually connected by a conjunction or other linking word.)
245 10 $a Zwei Praeludien und Fugen für Orgel, op. posth. 7
245 10 $a Sonatas and partitas for solo violin, BWV 1001-1006
When a title consists of two words each of which alone would be the name of a type of composition, but the combination of the two words produces a distinctive title, apply the third sentence of this rule ("In all other cases...").
245 10 $a Fantaisie-impromptu : $b in C sharp minor, op. 66
245 10 $a Humoresque-bagatelles : $b op. 11
Note, however, that "trio sonata" (cf. 25.29C1) and "chorale prelude" are each the name of one type of composition.
Serial Numbers:
Transcribe as part of the title proper a serial number (whether it appears as arabic or roman numerals or spelled out) which appear in conjunction with title but without the designation "no." or its equivalent, regardless of the nature of the title.
245 10 $a Antiphony II : $b variations on a theme of Cavafy
not 245 10 $a Antiphony : $b II : variations on a theme of Cavafy
Multiple Parallel Data:
When succeeding statements of key, etc., are broken up in the source rather than grouped together by language, transcribe the statements so that all elements in one language are together. Treat the first group of elements in one language as part of the title proper and precede each one after the first by an equals sign. Thus
Concerto
D-Dur/D Major/Ré Majeur
für Horn und Orchester
for Horn and Orchestra
pour Cor et Orchestre
would be transcribed as
245 10 $a Concerto, D-Dur, für Horn und Orchester $b = D major, for horn and orchestra = ré majeur, pour cor et orchestre
(Record all the parallel elements; do not apply the provisions for omission in 1.1D2.)
Adopt the following solutions for data that are other title information or statements of responsibility and that are only partially repeated from language to language. For such a problem with a statement of responsibility, rule 1.1F10 provides a solution in the third paragraph ("If it is not practicable ...") by saying to give the statement that matches the language of the title proper and to omit the other statement(s).
... [Czech title proper]
Revidoval-Revidiert von Antonín Myslík
245 10 $a ... / $c revidoval Antonín Myslík
There is no comparable "if it is not practicable ..." provision in the rule for other title information, yet the same difficulty of transcription arises with partial repetition of other title information. Nonetheless, apply the same idea to other title information.
Sonata a velocità pazzesca
per for
cembalo
The transcription would be
245 10 $a Sonata a velocità pazzesca : $b per cembalo
If no real match in languages is possible, then give the first of the language forms, matching at least the other title information with the statement of responsibility if possible.
