Requested tweaks[edit]

Not too much, just a couple of points for clarity and consistency.

line 1: whose musical style -> and his musical style (as in the article; "whose" is ambiguous, Fauré, or that generation)
line 7: "Après un rêve" and "Clair de lune" -> Après un rêve and Clair de lune (again as in the article, for consistency)

First one done. Second one is not done and will not be done. The Faure article does not have them in italics, it has them in between double inverted commas, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music#Classical music titles. Anything else done elsewhere is wrong.

Thanks for line 1, though it still needs the same comma as the article (after "generation").

If the/you music people insist on quotation marks for song titles, fair enough, though the article isn't consistent. (In the Organist and composer section, for example, L'Absent, Seule! and La Chanson du pêcheur are italicised, as they should be for words in a foreign language, but not set off with quotation marks). But in any case, "Après un rêve" and "Clair de lune" do need to be italicised as being in a language different from the text as a whole, as is fairly consistent in the article.

Well, Art La Pella finally put the comma in (independently of my request, apparently). Meanwhile, italicisation of words in a foreign language is simply being ignored. Awien (talk) 01:39, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
