Where appropriate, I explain the reasoning behind the choice of spelling. In most cases, it's going to be because the **[[https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/grovemusic/|New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians]]** begs to have the final word on the subject... Whilst not a definitive list of composers, you should nevertheless regard this list as 'prescriptive': that is, it shows how you //should// spell their names when tagging your own music CDs, even if people like Wikipedia or Last.fm beg to differ.
