"Let him take care
that the higher the notes
the more necessary it is to touch them with softness;
to avoid screaming.
Let him learn the manner
to glide with the vowels
and to drag the voice gently from the high
to the lower notes
Let him take care
that the words are uttered In such a manner
that they are distinctly understood
and no one syllable lost
...Oh how great a master is the heart!"
~ Francesco Tossi Italy 1723 ~
*From a Clint Eastwood directed and produced
film about Tony Bennett
