About the Works Database

The Works Database is simply a collection of information about pieces of music I've collected throughout they years. It's always been a part of Musica Viva's supporting structure. Eventually I decided it might be of use to others as well, so here it is!


Tunes and works

Musica Viva includes a Tunes Database as well as this Works Database and the differences between te two are rather subtle:

  • The Tunes database lists tunes
  • The Works database lists specific versions of a tune
For example: if you want general info about the song "Twinkle, twinkle little star,", you search in tunes. If you want info about Mozart's version of "Twinkle, twinkle little star" specifically, you search in works.

If you get it wrong, there's no big problem. The two databases are throughly interlinked and the info you are looking for will only be a single extra mouseclick away.
