For alternative titles, see LCRI 25.27.
For pre-twentieth century works, normally consider phrases such as "a due,"
"a cinque" to be statements of medium of performance and not part of the title as defined
in this rule .
For pre-twentieth century works with titles such as Duo concertant,
Quartetto concertante (but not titles naming a form, such as Sinfonia concertante (cf .
rule 25.29A), Rondeau concertant), consider the word "concertant" or its equivalent to be
an adjective or epithet not part of the original title of the work, and omit it from the
uniform title.

When the title selected as the basis for a uniform title contains a number
that causes other words to be inflected, if the number is to be omitted, change the
inflected words to the nominative case so that the uniform title will be grammatically
correct.

Initial title elements consisting solely of the name of one type of
One Work of One Type
When cataloging the first occurrence of a work of a particular type by a
composer, apply the following:
1) If the composer is deceased, search reference sources to determine
whether the composer wrote more than one work of the type, and use the singular or plural
form in the uniform title according to the information found.
2) If the composer is living, use the singular form in the uniform title
unless the work being cataloged bears a serial number (including 1); in that case use the
plural form on the assumption that the composer has written or intends to write more
works of the type.
