PROPER, PERIOD OF.
If all the young singers who start-
ed out. to be prime. donnas in grand
opera and failed to teach success
or even to be heard in it at all. had
thought logically after a proper pe-
riod of study instead of reaching
premature decision. we should have
many more real artists in light op-
era~ in concert. and in church choir
singing is the opinion set forth by
Ernestine Schumann~Heink. in the
following article from “'omen’s
“70:16.
The good teacher can best decide
upon the branch of singing for
which a young aspirant is particular-
ly fitted. but he can only do this
safely after the pupil has studied
seriously for two years. No matter
how large and powerful a voice
may be. it is rank ignorance to say
before study proves it. “This is a
voice for grand opera." Every voice
changes in the training. It is the
outcome after training upon which
any ' final judgement must be based.
Even phenomenal voices may not be
exceptions for the singer's right
place in music depends upon many
other things than voice alone.
There were not pientifully lacking
those who exclaimed on the pityof
it when Miss Fritzi Scheff went over
to light opera instead of remaining
in opera. of the. grand description,
where she could have kept on sing—
ing lyric roles. \Vhy should she
have remained in grand opera? Her-i
chic; her disposition. her charm of
personal guyety; a born comedienne;
those things combined to make her
ideally she could find full outlet for
the display of her talent and re-
souces. These talents in grand opera.
with its required grand manner of
acting. could not have found their

The psychology of the individual.I
the disposition. and the temperament '

matter of what branch of singing

to spell success. And that means not
alone the consideraing the stock

mistake was a decision to sing he-
roic “'agnerian parts. She could
have successfully sung the Elsa. in
Lohengrin. Elizabeth in Tunnliauscr,
the Sieglinde in “'aikure and Eva
in Meistersinger. But never should
she have attempted the Isolde or
the Brunhilde of the Ring. It was
their vast demands that put over-
strain up on the endurance of her
voice.
In the days of her singing of Ital-
tan and coloratura parts. her velvety
tones were better than those of any
singer among them all. “’hat a
wonderful voice it was! “'hen will
there again be such another? Her
high C in Verdi's Requiem, when
she spun out the tone like a thread
of gold and light. was something that
will linger in my memory eternal-
ly.
