Comment: Explanations by Cornelius about his pedagogic philosophy. The importance of spontaneity and rhythm (singing like dancing). Getting the heaviness, i.e. too dominant chest voice out of the sound.

Quote: Here is a perfect example of the principle behind gaining spontaneity through release. Cut away all that is superfluous and that which is essential will remain. Help the singer avoid unnecessary involvement and the real voice will be discovered. Relinquish unhealthy controls and natural controls will appear obvious. Eliminate impurities one by one, and that which is left will be pure. Breaking down wrong involvement helps free muscular reflexes and leads to spontaneity. (The Free Voice)
