This is an alphabetically ordered list of sub-titles, nicknames and non-numeric titles that have been applied to classical music compositions of types that are normally identified only by some combination of number, key and catalogue number. These types of compositions include: symphony, concerto, sonata, and standard chamber music combinations (string strio, quartet, quintet, sextet, etc.; piano trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, etc.), among others. A sub-title is a subsidiary name given to a work by the composer, and considered part of its formal title, such as: * ''The Age of Anxiety'', the sub-title of Bernstein's Symphony No. 2 * ''Pathétique'', the sub-title of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74. A nickname is a name that is ''not'' part of the title given by the composer, but has come to be popularly associated with the work, such as: * ''Emperor'', the nickname of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73 * ''Jupiter'', the nickname of Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551. A non-numeric title is a formal title that departs from the usual sequential numbering of works of the same type, such as: * ''Symphonie fantastique'' by Berlioz and * ''Warsaw Concerto'' by Addinsell. ==Background== Many classical compositions belong to a numbered series of works of a similar type by the same composer. For example, Beethoven wrote 9 symphonies, 10 violin sonatas, 32 piano sonatas, 5 piano concertos, 16 string quartets, 7 piano trios and other works, all of which are numbered sequentially within their genres and generally referred to by their sequence numbers, keys and opus numbers. For example, the 6th of his violin sonatas is referred to as: ''Violin Sonata No. 6 in A major, Op. 30, No. 1''. However, some of these works were also given descriptive sub-titles by Beethoven himself: for example, he sub-titled the 3rd Symphony "Eroica", and the 6th Symphony "Pastoral". Others were given nicknames by publishers or others: for example, the Piano Sonata No. 14 is called "Moonlight" and the Piano Trio No. 7 is known as the "Archduke". In other cases, a composer gives a work a title without any number, even though he may have written other works of that type with numbers. For example, Tchaikovsky wrote 6 numbered symphonies, but he also wrote the unnumbered ''Manfred Symphony'' between the 4th and 5th symphonies. A listing of all Tchaikovsky's symphonies would be incomplete without mention of the ''Manfred Symphony''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of classical music sub-titles, nicknames and non-numeric titles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
