Since I never heard of Schuman before, I will save myself confusion by rhyming
it with "human". I also do not pronounce the "o" in "on" like a German "a".

[Wiliam Schuman, in addition to composing music,
was the president of the Juilliard School in NYC
for many years, and went on to be the first
president of Lincoln Center. Juilliard flourished
under him, but his tenure at Lincoln center was so
problem-filled that "To err is Schuman" became a
catch phrase in the press. Does that help?]

William Schuman's 3rd symphony is very popular and
much performed and recorded. His 6th is his best,
in my opinion.

On in Boston had the same vowel as God, hot, dog, etc. New Yorkers used two
different vowels for hot and dog (hat dawg). Boston o is like London o,
Michigan o is like the a in Bach or father.

That brings up again the observation that no word rhymes with dog - if you
are from New York. I say "dawg", but not fawg, hawg. So, what o is that in
Boston (which I say Bawstun)...aha! Boston at least alliterates with my
dog.

Re 25: no. But I really don't follow things like that.
