Does anybody know how Frederic Rzewski pronounces his name?
I often mispronounce in purpose, because IMO many foreign (especially French) names pronounced correctly sound really stupid mixed in the speech of my own language.
Hmmm. How do you pronounce, then, "rendezvous?" Do you accent "Ravel" on the first syllable? Do you put a social insect into "Beethoven?" Do you pronounce "Chopin" like choppin' wood?
No bees in my Beethoven
Awww..
But his music is about as pleasant to me as a swarm of bees...
But they're so warm and cuddly...
How does he get them to leave when he's ready to go back inside?
