The equivalence of "irreducibility" is discussed as characterizing symmetric and traceless tensors on the one hand and group-theoretica l properties on the other. The relation between the two points of view is shown explicitly by expressing the tensorial spherical harmonics in terms of scalar spherical harmonics and vice versa. Thus the connection between spherical and Cartesian tensor components is established, allowing a tensorial formulation of the Wigner-Eckart theorem.
