Dear List:

I recall reading in Jerome Hine's book (Great Singers on Great Singing
or something like that) the chapter with Paul Plishka (bass), and
Plishka said (somewhat contrary to the opinion of the previous post)
that basses are paid for their *high* notes (along with the
expectation of a certain kind of sound quality) - thus the idea that
money notes are high ones for baritones and basses, not just for
tenors.

Cheers,

Michael Gordon
