	Pronunciation
		Books on German pronunciation stress mainly the difference between two types of German 'r': the gutteral (as the word indicates, this is the 'gargling'-type of 'r') and the tongue-trilled 'r' that is found in some Romance languages.
		Germans speak of "Bühnendeutsch" ["Stage German"] as the absolutely best type of German pronunciation that is reserved for speaking on the stage or singing as well.
		In the process of creating a parody (there are other aspects of Altnickol's copy of BWV 233 that point to irregularities which were not corrected in his copy), there were situations such as a whole note with 'lei' indicated, where common sense would have dictated how/when to split the diphthong into its separate parts.

		No one speaks High German in everyday situations in Switzerland – oral use of High German is restricted to school education, the mass media and public speaking.
		Everybody writes in High German (which is also the language of all signs and public notices) – but when reading out loud, they mentally transcribe the High German text into their own dialect of Swiss-German as they’re going along.
		Any attempt to lay down rules for Swiss-German pronunciation is doomed to failure, since pronunciation of vowels in particular varies from district to district, and even from village to village.
