Comment: A great example of learning how to approach musical interpretation.

Quote: When a stage of training has been reached where the voice is produced spontaneously and without conscious effort, the singer is free to give his entire attention to musicianship and interpretation. Habit patterns of the kind described are known as a CONDITIONED REFLEX, which is the only sound basis for a reliable and consistent vocal technique. Mannstein had this in mind when he said, 'It must be remembered that by practice all art becomes second nature after long continued study, so that the experienced artist thinks, not of the manner and the means of execution, but devotes himself entirely to expression without fear of singing wrongly.'
