Tango.info music performance
Overview
Definition of "performance" in tango.info, related to https://tango.info/performance
Each performance entry corresponds to a group of tracks that have the same
- tango.info performance name (also called "title"),
- performer(s), which are separated in tango.info into two fields:
- orchestra,
- vocalist(s) and
- tango.info performance date (or no performance date).
orchestra and vocalist are sometimes combined into artist or performer, one could then speak of the title-performer-date triplet.
In cases of triplet-equal music performances the triplet is not enough to identify a performance. Additional information to ID a single performance then may be:
- Matrix number
- More precise time of performance
- An example audio track, or a reference to such, e.g. a TINT
NOTE: By this definition, a performance entry can include,multiple performances, e.g. in one case of two Canaro performances recorded with same orch/vocalist on same day (detail needed). Suggested solution: disambiguate such performances by including an arbitrary sequence number. Chrisjjj 21:17, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
