Details of reference lists for use with the template Timeline Classical Composers Famous.
- It is suggested that the criteria used should be major composers and that the name of the timeline is changed to reflect this.
- It is envisaged limiting the timeline to between 100 and 150 names as: (a) it is intended to be an brief overview; and (b) so that the graphic generated does not become too large.
Source selection
edit- Expert and published sources used.
- The lists used are all selections of major composers - although the actual criteria may vary (eg 'top', notable, famous, influential, etc); lists used are not simply collections of composers' names.
- Lists address all eras to be shown on the timeline - ie from the medieval period up to recent times.
- Optimum list length should be about 100 or so names (as this is about the number of composers envisaged to be included in the timeline).
- More suitable sources sought, noting that List of major opera composers used 10 relevant lists.
