[edit] Pronunciation
The pronunciation of this for non-Belgians is problematic. A pronunciation guide would help. Which syllable get the emphasis?: Is the preference for EE-Say, EE-Say-ee, EYE-say, EYE-sayee, eye-SAY, or something else? Frankatca 00:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This article is a condensation of another
This article is a condensation of my own much longer version which is available online at an old website of mine: [1].

[edit] Harmonie du Soir
that's a very good short article, only a tiny detail is wrong: this piece refered to: Harmonie du soir (op 31), is a Poem for solo stringquartet and string orchestra, one of the numerous poems written by Ysaÿe. I see you are viola player, do you know that there is a version for viola from the Ysaÿe cello solo sonata op 28 ? and also a beautiful and arduous string trio from him (called "le Chimay")... I was forgotting the other trio, 2Ggn & Br, which is a transcription by himself of his sonata for 2 violins (only the first moviment)
[edit] Ernest Bloch
There is a mention in the Ernest Bloch article that Ysaye was one of his teachers. Although this article mentions Ysaye's violin students there is no mention of Bloch. Maybe this should be put in the article as Bloch is quite a notable composer but as I don't know enough about the subject I'm not sure how it should be incorporated into the article --Godfinger 00:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
