1. Composer [eg. Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827)]
2. Composition [eg. Symphony No. 5 Op. 67 in C-m (1808)]
3. Title, part of the composition [eg. 1. Allegro con brio]
4. Performer [eg. Jan Willem de Vriend & Netherlands Symphony Orchestra]
5. Album [eg. Symphonies Nos. 1 & 5]
That's the basic set; of course it could be extended with more information, like "opus", "catalogue no.", "part number" and so on. But the five mentioned above are crucial.
It's pity that the MPD does not support the "composition" tag. So I think one should use the MPD tag "name" as a "composition".
I will prepare sample collection and share it on some cloud disk; I will PM you the link.
I've only seen the Name tag in radio streams but never in song files so possibly it could be used to store the Composition text. MPD already supports the rest of the tags in your list.
1) What is the hierarchy that determines which columns appear on the panel?
Genre
- Composer
-- Composition
---- Title
2) Are Performer and Album attributes of the Title or part of the hierarchy?
----Title
----"Album"
----"Performer"
3) Which tags or attributes need to be searchable?
The main challenge is that everyone's Classical collection is tagged differently and no matter what is offered, there will be a requirement to re-tag. Still I think its worthwhile to develop a proposal and get some feedback on what might work :-)
