I would absolutely be horrified to hear someone say "Moe's art" instead of "Mozart". The same goes with "Bee-thoven", 'Beet-hoven", or "Beeth-oven" instead of "Beethoven"! Granted, I don't listen to classical music too often, but at least I know how to pronounce the 3 most famous composers! God forbid people start mispronouncing the names of these famous composers!

Van Gogh was from an area near the Belgian border, and wouldn't likely have pronounced either of the g's the way your source claims, which is a northern accent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_G_in_Dutch Maeve: it really depends who you ask…Dutch speakers, like English speakers, don’t all use the same sounds.
