Hi everyone,
I'd like to update you on my students with pitch problems. Many of them
responded very favorably to starting with extremes of pitch (high in their
range and then low) and made some pretty immediate progress from there.
Once they got a note in their memory, they could almost always come back to
that note. They are happier and I am happier - and I thank you all for your
wonderful suggestions with this situation.
Next, I have an aria that I'm working on from Fidelio - Abscheulicher, wo
eilst du hin?, that has a word discrepancy between scores and I'm wondering
if anyone has done any research on this. The phrase is - "Des Mitleids Ruf,
der Menscheit stimme rührt nichts mehr deinen Tigersinn". But, I've also
got a score that has "rührt nicht mehr deinen Tigersinn". Does anyone know
which one is historically correct, and if it goes against the correct use of
the word? I think, "nichts mehr" would mean none more - and "nicht mehr"
would mean no more, but I think that "nichts mehr" is what was written.
Thanks again for your help in the past, and for your help in this issue as
well.
Have a wonderful day!!
