What tips can you give me on pronouncing the names of classical composers?

Answer by  debmalewski (1085)

The famous classical composers come from a variety of European countries. I would suggest that you make a list of the ones you have trouble with, and sit down with a musically knowledgeable and work together on the pronunciation of each one. Write down the pronunciations, then practice saying them over and over.

Name pronunciation will depend on the country of origin of the composer, so first determine where the composer was born. For example, the Russian "sky" should be pronounced like "ski".
