You know what? I have my beginning students leave that out. Frankly, I
don't think it's stylistically necessary to keep it in. It's HARD. Get the
song solid and then add that in. In fact, in the 26 Italian Songs and
Arias, published by Alfred (which is the preferred edition these days), a
breath mark is indicated. So breathe. Air is fuel. Why sing it and sound
less than fabulous by NOT breathing when you can breathe and make it more
enjoyable and more fabulous????
