Topic Options #177430 - 06/15/08 11:01 PM Norwegian pronunciation Sandra in comox stranger Registered: 06/15/08 Posts: 2 Hello out there: Is there someone who can help me with the pronunciation of the Norwegian composer, Trygve Torjussen. I will be playing his glorious tone poem, To The Rising Sun for my upcoming piano recital, and I don't want to mispronounce his name. Thank you in advance for your help.
