the fractional relationship you refer to, in regard to ms. horne, to
me, sounds like a description of sensations rather than something that is
actually going on. also, in the hines book, she talks about a passaggio
occuring around the F just above middle C which, indicates to me, someone who
switches to 'head' voice too low (and by that, i mean someone who switches to
the 'light' mechanism (which i really call falsetto) which, i view as a
consideration of how the folds are being used as opposed to the resonance).
it is this practice, btw, that i think leads to wobbles.

von stade, i always have thought, is a soprano imitating mezzos. if
she were, she would have to use her 'heavy' mechanism to sing the low range.
i don't know her singing as well (can't stand her enough to listen to her)
so, i can't really say i would have any idea as to where she does any kind of
switching.
