Title edit

If the piece is titled 12 New Etudes for Piano then I assume that the article should read "12 New Etudes for Piano" even if Wikipedia policy doesn't allow an article title to start with a numeral, that doesn't mean the article can't start with a numeral, does it?

But "12" is "Twelve", isn't it? How would you pronounce it differently?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 06:42, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Is it titled 12 New…? Jones (1994), Kozinn (1988), Lewis (1990) call it Twelve …. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:54, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately the article doesn't cite or quote Bolcom. Hal Leonard uses "12" on the sheet music, and for some reason the wacky folks at Pulitzer.org use "12". Hyacinth (talk) 21:47, 22 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Apparently it's pronounced "/twɛlv/". Hyacinth (talk) 22:12, 22 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Pronounced both ways?! How would you pronounce it if it happened to be written "XII New Etudes"?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 22:31, 22 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
