A tango.info performance name is a name provided by tango.info instead of a track name. The latter is also often called track title.

The performance can differ from the tango.info work name.

The performance name is:

  • the name found on the first publication, if known to tango.info.
    • this may often be an 78 rpm label
  • else - the name on the publication known to tango.info believed to be the oldest

Sources

Secondary sources can be used to determine the title on 78 rpm in case the image is not available

Check order:

  • 78 rpm graphics
  • CTA (78 rpm transfers)
  • AMP (78 rpm transfers)
  • LP graphics
  • Official CD graphics

Transformations

Case

The name found at source if in upper case (all letters are upper case??) is changed to case per the orthography normally used for that language.

  • If name starts with a letter, this letter is upper case
  • Other letters are lower case, except for proper names and
    • nouns in German

Diacritics

When case is changed and accents have not been present, then accents are added.

Punctuation

To be defined.
