I would really like to know how to pronounce the name Moscheles. I guess some people say it as in French, like "Moschèles" (moSHELL). But is this right? It's an odd name - is it a transliteration or translation of some other name? Thoughts: Mošeleš (Czech style name - he was born in Prague) [unlikely and a bit contrived], something to do with "Moishe" (Jewish name - Moses) [more likely]?
Yes, this page [[1]] says it is from "Moishe". Well that's something but not how to pronounce it.
I suppose if there is a standard pronunciation then that should be here. (Personally I'd love to know more!) Philip Howard 14:11, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
