How is Chopin, as in Kate Chopin, pronounced? Is it like the composer, or is anglicized?
Thank you for your input!

From the Kate Chopin International Society Website:
Quote:Q: How do you pronounce "Chopin"?
A: In the French way, like that of the composer, Frédéric Chopin--in English, something like SHOW-pan. |
