Excerpt from Pronouncing Dictionary of Musical Terms: Giving the Meaning, Derivation, and Pronunciation in Phonetic Spelling of Italian, German, French, and Other Words; The Names With Date of Birth and Death and Nationality of the Leading Musicians of the Last Two Centuries; English Vocabulary, With Equival All Italian, French, and German words are written out phonetically, on the following system: A as in far, represented by ah. The Continental e has the sound of a in fare; it is represented by eh. The Continental i has the sound of e in deer; it is represented by ee. The following vowel sounds have no equivalents in English: French e, when not accented, something like the vowel sound in love. German o (o modified, or Umlaut) has nearly the same sound. German ü is about half-way between the sound of o in love and e in deer. O and u have the same sound as in English, the u sound being represented by oo, as in cool. Italian ae has the sound of long i in English. German a is the equivalent of a in air. German eu is sounded like oi, as in toil. The following consonantal sounds have no English equivalents: German hard guttural ach and soft guttural ag. The French sound of j is represented by zh as nearly as possible. The French nasals an, en, in, on, can be represented but very unsatisfactorily in English only by adding a final g. Whenever ch is found it is to be sounded like ch in chair. C always has this sound in Italian when followed by i or e. The Italian ch, on the contrary, always has the sound of k, or c hard, and is thus represented. The Italian zz has the sound of ts or ds, and is thus represented. With this explanation of the phonetic system adopted to represent the foreign sounds, it is believed that the reader will find no difficulty in acquiring their proper pronunciation.

This dictionary has been undertaken with the object of putting into the hands of every student of music, in convenient shape, a work in which may be found the meanings, derivations, and pronunciations of the English, Italian, German, and French words used in musical works; also the names, nationality, and dates of birth and death of the leading musicians of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A feature of especial value is the list of English words with their Italian, German, and French equivalents. The author's design has been to produce a useful work. He has therefore omitted many Greek and Latin terms which are never met with, except in obsolete treatises; the admission of such words would only serve to swell the size of the volume, without, in the least degree, adding to its value.
