Pronunciation of Cui and Wikipedia

[Genevra Gerhart]

And I'm disappointed that no one thought to look up Cui in the music chapter
of The Russian Context which tries to describe common knowledge among
educated Russians. Included are stresses, Les Cinq etc.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Pronunciation of Cui and Wikipedia

It surprises me that no one has mentioned Wikipedia.

If this composer was Cesar Cui, then his name is pronounced as "K yu ee" or
as it is in Russian: Кюи.  

Here is the article in English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Cui

And here is the article in Russian:
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D1%8E%D0%B8%2C_%D0%A6%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B0%
D1%80%D1%8C_%D0%90%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87

And props to Paul for his correct pronunciation if the name were Chinese.
