Dear list,
Well here it is; it is less than I thought, but I think it should do. I had to translate it because it was in French, but these six rules are all Hahn thinks you need. The second one I don't understand, because that seems to be the normal Ialian pronunciation, but maybe he wrote it from the French point of view.
e should be pronunciated as 'a' (as in babe) u ................. 'oe' (as in 'shoe') xe ............... 'za' ('z' + 'a' as in babe) c............... in front of an i: as the English 'c' l ........ between two vowels: should hardly be heard ('y' as in 'eye', but much softer) g in front of an e: 'y'+'a' as in babe
If you go to http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/ and go to the composer's index, search for Hahn, then for the cd Souvenirs de Venise, then click on Il Barchetto, you can also hear it.
Success
P.S. Thanks to all the people that wished me success, that was on the morning of my concert, so it was really nice.
Best greetings,
Dre.
