I'll have a go, DVORAK = DZHVORRAK (with the 'zh' pr*nounced like the 'je' in French), DMITRI = DIMITRI, shostakovich, gustav MAHLER = MARLER, franz SCHUBERT = SHOOBERT, XAVER SCHARWENKA = KSAH-VUHR SHAHR-VENG-KAH. Note that they're not exactly definitive, but the best I can do as Pro doesn't do symbols and accents. * +

Sorry - PYOTR TCHAIKOVSKY try a quick PI-YOT followed by a rolled 'r' then CHI (as in Chinese) KOVSKI. * +

Thanx alot @garion, that really helped me alot, especially in the respect of XAVER SCHARWENKA and PYOTR TCHAIKOVSKY(I always translated his first name to Peter and avoided saying it in it's original language) but i find it hard to accept the pr*nunciation of Dvorak you gave. * +

Pleasure 
Dvorak was as near as I could get on Pro without the use of accents - perhaps someone else can attempt a better phonetic approximation, or try wiki as anduan suggested, but I've noticed before that pr*nunciation is not always provided for entries. * +
