Another n00b question : Marco V, Is V pronounced as alphabet "V" or roman # 5 ? :o

And what about "Ravelīs Pavanne Pour Une Infante Defunte" ?

I would expect this more :D

those are not english names. adagio is an english word, and it pronounced with an english j sound.

Ada(h)io for strings. That should clear all confusions :)


"adagio is an english word, and it pronounced with an english j sound"

And you really took that post about "ADaaHiiO" seriously!!! :)

Adagio for strings is pronounced like one of the previous posters said, like Taj...And Marco is Marco V like the letter, not V like the number

Adagio is pronounced differently at Merriam-Webster and Answers.com
But both pronounce the j sound.

i'm aware of it's origins... i'm saying it's an english word; ie, you'll find it in the english dictionary with english pronounciations
