Line 3:
:Possibly - it's something up for debate at [[Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (pieces of music)]]. Personally, I prefer putting the composer in brackets, because it is more consistent with disambiguation like [[Vertigo (movie)]], the possessive apostrophe seems rather clumsy somehow, and it makes it easier to link to the composer and the piece of music together: for example, writing in some article <nowiki>"in [[Berg's Violin Concerto]]..." is fine to get a link to the piece, but if you also want to link to the composer, you have to write "in [[Alban Berg]]'s [[Berg's Violin Concerto|Violin Concerto]]...", which is a pain. If you use the current form, though, you can use the pipe trick and write "in [[Alban Berg]]'s [[Violin Concerto (Berg)|]]..."</nowiki> (the extra pipe at the end of the second link causes this to be rendered as "in [[Alban Berg]]'s [[Violin Concerto (Berg)|Violin Concerto]]"), which is a good deal easier. So I believe the current title is best, but I'm prepared to be convinced otherwise. (I'll copy this to the aforementioned naming convention page, btw) --[[User:Camembert|Camembert]]
: the yuckness of <nowiki>"in [[Alban Berg]]'s [[Berg's Violin Concerto|Violin Concerto]]..."</nowiki> is a convincing argument! -- [[User:Tarquin|Tarquin]] 18:04 Dec 25, 2002 (UTC)
