Pronouncing Table—Composers, Singers and Operas—Continued
For instance, the last syllable of Chopin, indicated pahn—which is about as near as one can come in English characters,—is pronounced, as some one has said, by commencing to sound ng’, but stopping midway, and closing the back of the throat to throw the sound through the nose.
The French e (as in de) might be indicated deh, but is pronounced with the lips almost closed. Put your lips in position to pronounce oo, as in food, then try to say deh instead, and you will come very near it. The German w (as in Wagner) is neither a w nor a v, but just between them. Begin the word as though it was spelled Vahgner, but instead of pressing the teeth firmly against the lower lip, press
them very lightly and then go through the motion of sounding the v. .
The editor has indicated these pronunciations as nearly as possible, and they
will be found correct enough for practical purposes.
But do not pause at each
syllable—pronounce the entire word rapidly without hesitation, putting a decided accent on the syllable marked with the sign “’”’.
