Talk:Seconda pratica

Stile moderno more common term?

The article states:

Seconda pratica, literally "second practice", is the counterpart to prima pratica and is more commonly referred to as Stile moderno.

But there is no source and the direction of the redirect suggest the opposite, just like a simple Google search in English language internet:

• "seconda prattica" music: 27 search result pages
• "seconda pratica" music: 33 search result pages
• "stile moderno" music: 32 search result pages

Anyone has a source for this so it can be addressed? I am going to propose a merge for stile antico and prima pratica, which I will propose in the same direction for now in order to be consistent, but later both may need change. LazyStarryNights (talk) 18:03, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

For English language pages, Google search, I get the following:

• ("seconda prattica" or "seconda pratica") music: 8,000 hits (3,500 & 7,800 when broken out)
• "stile moderno" music: 17,900 hits

I am not sure why we are getting such different search results. I don't imagine usage has been shifting over time.

Leaving aside the larger issue of whether the pages should be split, perhaps we should at least make "Stile moderno" the page title & "seconda pratica" the also-known-as. It doesn't make much sense to me to have a page that reads "A, better known as B ...". Gould363 (talk) 03:35, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
