We hicks down here in Texas like a bit more laid-back-wallowing-in-emotions-type-opera, not something that jumps skittishly from idea to idea. I'd take <i>Otello</i> any day over <i>Falstaff</i>! Now I will go hide. I think living in a bustling metropolis like NYC makes one think Falstaff the greatest opera of them all.

I have long held <i>Falstaff</i> to be my favorite opera. I saw Leonard Warren and the Met do it in Atlanta in the sixties, and I shall never forget it. I had learned the opera beforehand by listening to the great Karajan recording. "Re-ver--ennnnn-ZA!" Oh yes! I have long held Falstaff to be my favorite opera.

I, an instrumentalist, married into a family of singers and have been trying to overcome my prejudices about these "different" types of musicians for over a decade. Different. Not worse. Different. Thanks for the laugh. Oh, my goodness.

Mine wanders around, sometimes parts of Don Giovanni (Leperello, "Note giorno..," sometimes the statue's entrance at the end, "Don Giovanni, a cenar teco...," bits of Beethoven, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.) In my head, the basso parts are in the right octave, not like me squeaking along aloud. Falstaff, number one? It's fifth: Don Giovanni, Figaro, Rake's Progress, Maria de Buenas Aires, then Falstaff. Best of Verdi, though. (No accounting for tastes.) Joyce DiDonato is an amazing singer and a good blogger, too, but she has not yet bested you at bloggong. If she starts writing in heroic couplets, Look Out! A serious question: Sometimes abilities are divided between verbal and visual. Mathematics and chemistry are visual for me. Is music largely visual or verbal? Or is there another full realm of abilities outside this binary view? REH How does this non-musician’s brain decide what to hum in his head?
