		Another advantage of this approach would be the fact that after the creation of multilingual authority records the subsequent problem of linking existing bibliographic records to these new synthetically clustered authorities could be easily resolved: clustering would only have to preserve the original bibliographic context of each entry in order to obtain back-linking information.
		Especially in music recordings and printed music, the title and arrangement given and done by the publisher is of very little interest for the patron looking for a particular piece.
