Wikipedia:Naming conventions (pieces of music)

As a general rule, when naming articles about pieces of classical music, use the most common form of the name. Do not include nicknames except when the work is almost exclusively known by its nickname (for example, Franz Schubert's Trout Quintet[?]).

In an article's text, major pieces should be in italics, while smaller pieces and individual movements from major works should be in quotes - "Mars" is a movement from Gustav Holst's The Planets (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style for more).
