I was in a masterclass last week where it was suggested we look at "10 rules
of singing Puccini". I looked in the library and at amazon.com and couldn't
find it. Is there such a book, or was the instructor generalizing?

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine
picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not
obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human
soul. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German writer and scientist (1749-1832)
