Correct Pronunciation
As long as I was speaking to myself, it didn't make much difference how composers' names were pronounced. But now that I've fallen in with some pretty smart music lovers, I've gotten more compulsive about such things. Going to
http://www.forvo.com/, I found a lot of composers' names pronounced by native speakers. If you know some German, you'll know that the last letter h in Hindemith is not pronounced. but where does the accent fall in Debussy? And how do we deal with Szymanowski? What the French do with Berlioz will surprise the dickens out of you.
And when you've tired of names, you can spend time listening to a bit of Welsh or Ojibwa.
