My dear list,
Marika was asking about the mezzo aria from Bellini's
Capuleti, specifically about ornamentation and our
suggestions. I had a thought.
Although I don't have an extensive library of this
particular aria (not being a soprano aria), there are
some arias where I have six or seven different
versions for study and comparison.
Is it wrong (legally or morally) to put slices of each
one up as a file on the vocalist-temporary egroups
site? We're making such great use of the "files"
system, but I'm not sure where "fair use" and
educational purposes conflict with copyright. I
imagine I couldn't send up all seven arias whole and
uncut -- but to illustrate a certain phrase and
differing types of ornamentation or attacks or squillo
or whatever we're debating at the moment, a phrase? A
verse? Or nothing?
Just wondering.
