Dear John and list,

I must have misunderstood your - a-a-a-ih-nih-ih : I
thought that those i's at the end were Italian or
English i's, but apparantly you mean the normal German
vowel e, so you're after all not changing the vowels
in a very unnatural way, becasue that's what I thought
after reading the first mail.

Furthermore it looks like our voices differ a great
deal, and then probably it is necessary to do a lot to
keep the tone from sagging as you write, there are
many people on the list that know that very well, I
don't in fact. My situation is almost the opposite:
mostly I have to take care that I don't do to much!

There is a big difference between 'eine' and 'die
Eine', and those two words have indeed never been so
important as in Schumann's song. The idea of making
the 'reiche' more sarcastic by doing it mezza voce, is
interesting, although I would not do it like that. But
that is also very nice in singing and thus
interpreting Lieder: everybody who honestly works on a
Lied, does it differently. By the way: in German you
can call a musician 'ein Interpret', that is a good
expression, is not it?

best greetings,
Dre
