Almost all entries of music with text --both in the New works list and the New opera list-- now use a format of

[Composer name] (music) and [Librettist name] (text) - [Wok name][citation]

This format raises the importance of the librettist, which some might hold is an equal artistic role. (I do not disagree with the important artistic contributions of the librettist, by the way.) However, these lists are of the musical product, and, as such, making the function of the librettist to be equivalent to the composer is mistaken. A less-desired side effect is that the full product of the composer during this year may become separated into each work with libretto and a group of instrumental compositions.

I suggest the revision of entries with text to use the format

[Composer name] - [Work name] ([Librettist name], text)[citation]

This revised format maintains the unity of listing works by the compser, and it still allows full recognition of the contributing librettist. Tgkohn (talk) 20:57, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
