Anonymous

This artist profile is only to be used for artists who are credited as 'anonymous' on the release. Please use Traditional (for writing credits only) or Unknown Artist instead, where necessary. ([g2.3.1.]) This is a catchall artist page for credits that are listed as 'Anonymous' on a release, when the identity of the author is left hidden or unidentified for some reason. 'Anonymous' (also often abbreviated to 'Anon' or 'Anon.') is sometimes used as a pseudonym for artists who don't wish to have their true identities in the open. Anonymous is typically used in classical music & folk to note a composition where the writer wasn't mentioned and is not known until today, often accompanied by a classical style period, a century or (approximate) date, a location (country, city, ...), or the source of the work (typically a book collecting songs or composition).
