Title edit

Why should "Zwei Lieder WoO 118" be titled "Gegenliebe"? The French Wikipedia article is named fr:Seufzer eines Ungeliebten — Gegenliebe (Beethoven) which contains an unnecessary disambiguator. I think Seufzer eines Ungeliebten — Gegenliebe would be better title.

Why does the article call these two songs a cantata? I thought a cantata always involves an orchestra. I think this is a song cycle, though obviously a short one, with both songs treated as movements that are performed without break. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
