And one heckuva soprano Costanza must have been!
I've sung the choral part of several of Mozart's major church works & sit
with my mouth hanging open when I listen to the soprano solos. I'm
working on the soprano solos for the "Solemn Vespers" (as a rehearsal
lead-in) &, while that part isn't difficult on its own, trying to put it
together with the chorus & other soloists is quite the challenge. The
soprano entrances frequently come out of nowhere....maybe I need to think
about them more like some of the 20th century pieces that I've sung.
There are a good number of running lines that I've been getting tripped
up over because I can't always seem to be able to keep up with the tempo
that the chorus has been singing at.
