Andre' Messager, who wrote the 1899 Solo de Concours...

How do you pronounce his last name?

Meh-SAHger?
MESSager?
Meh-SAH-GERR?

Some combination of the above?

None of the above?

Avoid saying his name and refer to "the composer of this next piece"
in my upcoming recital?

Took a C in high school French some years back...
