How do you pronounce accel

[sarah the pianist]

I never know how to pronounce accel, plz help. If you have any other ideas please say!

[retrouvailles]

Accel stands for accelerando. It is pronounced: ac-chel-er-AHN-do

[thierry13]

It's like exel.

Thanx guyz ur all a real help (well I still don't know as you all say different things)

[retrouvailles]

I actually know Italian and it's definitely my suggestion and Petter's that's correct. Thierry is not  correct.

I go with "uh-chell" althought I've heard it "ax-sell" too.  I suppose it depends whether you want the Italian pronunciation.  I still would use uh-chell though.

[Petter]

In sweden we say ax-ell. Or at least I do. I suppose it´s more important to know what it means then to pronounce it right though. If someone was nitpicky about it I would probably pronounce it wrong hoping it would upset them.

I should introduce you to this prof I know.  Accompanied a jury once, and he was nitpicky annoyingly lecturing the horn player for incorrectly pronouncing "giocoso."  This was his idea of commenting on the horn players performance of the music. 

[Bob]

Ha.  I think I met that professor. 



And...
It's Levy-OOOOH-sah, not Levy-oh-SAH.

I guess they are asking for levitations as well now?    Maybe students should bring along some gifts for the jurors, like Mandrakes for instance 

[pianochick93]

I pronounce it 'ax-ell'

[pianowolfi]

I pronounce it 'ax-ell'

That's wrong

[retrouvailles]

There is only one correct way to pronounce it, despite all the many variations that occur across languages, and that true way is the Italian way. See my earlier post.

[rachfan]

I agree with retourvailles on this one.

[Bob]

Uh-chell.  I don't think many are going against that.  The vote doesn't show it though.

[retrouvailles]

It's not uh-chell. That is a cheap anglicized version of it, to be frank, in my opinion. It's ahc-chell. Yes, I know, I am like that professor mentioned earlier.

[cygnusdei]

Pianowolfi - can you post 'Moscheles' as well?

[pianowolfi]

Sure

Any other requests?

Finally it's a mix of both haha.

[pianochick93]

That's wrong

I know, but the question was 'How do you pronounce it' so I answered.

[sarah the pianist]

[cygnusdei]

Sure

Any other requests?
