[edit | edit source]- ↑ Sources vary regarding the English pronunciation of Mozart's name. Fradkin 1996, a guide for classical music radio, strongly recommends the use of the phoneme /ts/ for the letter z (thus /ˈwʊlfɡæŋ ˌæməˈdeɪəs ˈmoʊtsɑːrt/ WUULF-gang AM-ə-DAY-əs MOHT-sart), but otherwise considers English-like pronunciation fully acceptable. The German pronunciation is [ˈvɔlfɡaŋ amaˈdeːʊs ˈmoːtsart] ⓘ.
