Does anyone know how to pronounce Mozart's Pachelbel?

Question

I'm not sure if thats how you spell it, or if its mozart or bach.

Answer 1

First off, it's not "Mozart's Pachelbel". Johann Pachelbel wrote "Cannon in D major". Mozart used a similar, but not exact, chord progression over a century later in one single piece. What you're really asking is "How do you pronounce Johann Pachelbel, who wrote Pachelbel's Cannon in D Major".

Second, the correct pronunciation is Pach (like "Bach" but with a "P") - a (a sound as in "duh") -bell

Answer 2

Pachelbel is actually the name of the composer - Johann Pachelbel. If you are thinking of the over-used Pacelbel's Canon in D Major, Johann Pachelbel wrote it - not Mozart nor Bach.

Pronounced: PACH ell bell (with the "ch" as in "loch").

Answer 3

I'm not familiar with a piece named "Pachelbel" by Mozart or Bach.

Johann Pachelbel was a composer

Answer 4

Pachelbel is a composer, just like Mozart and Bach....so it isn't "Mozart's Pachelbel"...its just "Pachelbel". And it is pronounced "POCK ull bell"

Answer 5

That Pachelbel was a composer has already been mentioned. The original German pronounciation of his name has the stress on the second syllable, though: Pakh-EL-ble

Answer 6

Pack A Bell.

Answer 7

pa co bell that's how you pronounciate it.
