Decapitalize title?

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

In French, only the first word of titles are usually written with a capital letter (and of course names and such which are always capitalized). See for example Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. So I suggest changing the title to "Petite suite". Sawtoothcoriander (talk) 19:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

I just looked at the manuscript, Debussy did in fact capitalize 'Suite'. I also looked at MOS:FOREIGNTITLE, it says "Retain the style of the original for modern works. For historical works, follow the dominant usage in modern, English-language, reliable sources." So I take back my suggestion. It is unfortunate that it causes inconsistency.
