How do you pronounce Sorabji's 'Opus clavicembalisticum'??

[frederic]

I've heard lots of about this work but I never knew how to pronouce the composer's name AND the work!
Excuse my ignorance....

I think that is right. I'm not sure about his middle name tho so I didn't give the whole name a shot.

Not entirely sure about his first names I think it's:

Kiye-koss-roo Shap-ore-jee Sore-ab-jee

and

Oh-pus Clavi-chem-ballistic-um

bal-lis-ti-cum.

I think OC is pronounced pretty straightforward, at least for me. But his name is kind of hard.

His real name is Leon Dudley. My friend laughed so hard when I told him this. Fistly, I was trying to create this image of a totally absurd intellectual composer with this incredible name. So he asked what country and culture he was from. After answering him that I told him his real name, we had a good laugh for sure. Dudley isn't very elegant. No wonder he changed his name.

It is also stated that my name, my real name, that is the one I am known by, is not my real name.  Now one is given one's name - one's authentic ones - at some such ceremony as baptism, Christening, or the like, on the occasion of one's formal reception into a certain religious Faith.  In the ancient Zarathustrian Parsi community to which, on my father's side, I have the honour to belong, this ceremony is normally performed, as in other Faiths, in childhood, or owing to special circumstances as in my case, later in life, when I assumed my name as it now is or, in the words of the legal document in which this is mentioned "... received into the Parsi community and in accodance with the custom and tradition thereof, is now and will be henceforth known as..." and here follows my name as now.
