Hello, Being that this is my first Mozart aria (and actually one of my first aria's period) I've started noticing things, and I was interested in hearing others opinions. It seems that different vowels lift (moving upward then more forward) at different parts of the passagio. The farther back the vowel the sooner the lift seems to occur. One of the first problems I had was with the u vowel on the E4 (aura mm2), but once I let it lift it was fine. Yet the o in ristoro going to the E4 (mm4) wasn't nearly as noticable. When the o got to the F#4 on the word cor (mm8) it had to lift and move forward slightly. The only tricky part is that in maintaining the vowel consistency going from the F#4 of Cor (mm8) down to the D4 (part of porgerra) without letting the next vowel slide back. Are these perceptions correct? What do others do in handling the different vowels through this area?
Thanks in advance, T.L.
