Welcome Marco. I enjoyed your website! Beth Owen In a message dated 10/2/2005 9:25:55 AM Eastern Standard Time, marco.brolli@... writes: Hi group, my...
Hello Marco, That is a very nice website, thanks for the link! I was wondering what CD the beautiful b minor Telemann concerto in your sound-bite section is...
Hi Marco I am sorry but there is a huge lapse on your web page : A Contralto is a low female voice, or in Early Music a falsetto or castrato voice. But Quantz...
Dear Philippe, This is a brilliant point (you always have something interesting to say, you know!), I shall ponder it awhile...but are we sure that the voices...
Dear Jed Thanks for the compliment, I simply try to share my French point of view, and I am sure that Quantz was thinking of a French male singer, or a German...
Hi Jed, I'm very happy you enjoy my website. Concerning b minor Telemann recording you're right: this first movement find on CD "Musica Barocca" by Il Giardino...
Hi Philippe, thanks for your underlining of the terms "contralto" and "haute- contre", but I'd like to specify that - first of all - the Italian and English...
Hello Marco and All, Male contraltists and sopranists were not only an Italian phenomenon but an essential and distinctive part of the "art world" (in Becker's...
Hi Marco Of course you are not responsible of the mistakes of other translators, but you are not obliged to copy them! Again, the word used by Quantz is...
... Anyone familiar with the singing of Jeffrey Gall? He is the only countertenor I know of who does just that - his seamless knitting of lower notes in chest...
Hi chest voice discussion group. Now I have understood that Quantz had in mind a male voice, thanks Ardall: I'll read the dissertation by Oleskiewicz. Dear...
Hi Ardal ... I wouldn't naturally think of the 19th century flute-sound ideal as "bird-like" (might depend on which particular bird one has in mind!). Morris...
Dear Marco Sorry if I was too "picky" with you. This discussion was very interesting for me, since I knew only the French word of Quantz to describe the flute...
I have been following this thread with great interest...what a change in ideas about flute sound since I was studying traverso in the 1980's (gulp!! so long...
I love it when the discussion gets intense here. In my formative years of traverso playing it was suggested that I develop the ability to play very loud (for...
Marco ..................... Semantic flaws, notwithstanding, I still rather enjoyed your website ....... as well as your own concept of traverso sound....
Hello Kim, thanks for your thought-provoking post...I have been turning this all over and over, and cannot help but feel that loudness itself is not really the...
Dear all, A new issue of the on-line Jacob van Eyck Quarterly has appeared today, at http://www.jacobvaneyck.info. The subject: `Rosemont: Pulling down,...
Hey Jed (and everyone else), Amen to quality of sound and not volume for volume's sake. I do, however, have it in for conductors who don't give a rodent's...

Hi Jed, Thanks to you and Marco for your posts. Yes, we've moved beyond merely loud vs. soft. But I remember that Segovia customarily began his concerts...
Thanks Philippe! That hautecontre website looks very interesting, also for my doctoral studies (tragedie lyrique)! I shall read it with relish........... All...
Here a message I received yesterday that may interest someone in this group. Good luck Jean-François Beaudin 312 Chemin Richford Frelighsburg, Quebec, Canada....
Greetings, all... I'm a new member on this list so wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself. To be honest, my main interest is in contemporary flute...
