If he is skilful enough, the singer can impart a certain expression of feeling to even the most superficial phrases and coloratura passages. Thus, in the coloratura passages of Mozart's arias, I have always sought to gain expressiveness by crescendi, choice of significant points for breathing, and breaking off of phrases.
We do know, however, that the old Italians were an emotional and impulsive people. Their style of singing was the flexible, florid, coloratura style. This demanded freedom of action and emotional expression, which more largely than anything else accounts for their success. The old Italians knew little or nothing of the science of voice as we know it to-day.
One singer may find an hour a day sufficient, if she be already perfectly trained in every respect be "in good form," or "fit," as the athletes say and have only light or coloratura parts to sing; but would this suffice to form a singer to sustain the heaviest dramatic parts for hours together before a large public audience?
