Subject: Re: [SEELANGS] Pronunciation of "Cui"



There was a Russian composer whose name is generally rendered in English and
Western European as Cesar Cui (1835-1918) - a member of "Les Six," I
believe. In the Russian encyclopedia the name is rendered ?????? ???
[Tsesar' Kyui/Kiui] with the accent on the ? [i]. Without further context I
don't know if this is the composer the original query sought.
